Apple Cinnamon Cheese Ball
"One of my friends made something similar to this at a party, and I loved it. I asked for the recipe but lost it, and ended up trying to make it by memory. It may not be the original recipe, but its darn good! It has a sweeter taste than your average cheese ball. Excellent with Sesame Seed Crackers."

I wasnt sure what form the cheddar cheese was suppose to be in so I shredded it finely. This is a very cute cheese ball. I served it with pretzel "chips" -
