Apple Pie Cheese Ball - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Cheese Ball:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings:
1/3 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Beat cream cheese and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add 1/4 cup brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, apple pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Transfer cheese mixture to a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap plastic wrap around cheese, forming a ball; refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
Mix pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together on a shallow plate. Unwrap cheese ball and roll in the pecan mixture until evenly coated, pressing to help topping stick to cheese ball.
