How to Make Caramel Apple Cheese Ball
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 medium apple (about 1 cup diced), 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained), 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Using a hand mixer or electric mixer, blend all ingredients until completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Gently mix until pecans are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
- Shape the mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to coat completely.
