CARAMEL APPLE CHEESE BALL

One of my favorite treats is caramel and apples, most usually just the store-bought caramel will do. I'm not terribly fussy when it comes to something like that. However, if I'm entertaining, which I used to do quite a bit, I want to go a bit farther than a tub of dip and a cut-up apple. This was delicious and when I read the recipe in gourmet class, could NOT wait to try it. The first time I got to sample it, I didn't make it; the girl next to me did. She didn't like it. I told her she was nuts. It's a bit unusual for a cheese ball, but hey, who says the norm is always the way to go?? The cheeseball is an alternative to "straight" dipping apples. I like to drizzle the caramel on top of the nuts when serving. I have also just spread the mixture on a graham cracker and topped with an apple slice. It's up to you to use the caramel. Passive time is refrigerator time, but is very approximate.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup walnuts

1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 green or red apple diced (I used a red Envy apple)

Crackers for serving

Steps:

  • Toast walnuts in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat just until browning starts, stirring often; about 5 minutes. Do not let them get too dark.
  • Remove and let them cool completely. Chop or crush walnut into small pieces using a rolling pin (or anything else you have on hand).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together softened cream cheese and cheddar cheese until well incorporated.
  • Mix in diced apple, nutmeg and caramel until ingredients are evenly incorporated. Use hands to roll into a ball shape.
  • Spread walnut pieces on a plate or cutting board, and roll cheese ball to evenly coat the outside. Drizzle top with extra caramel sauce and serve with crackers. Enjoy!
