The recipe does make a good amount, too!
So they are perfect for bringing to a party or celebration.
Or maybe just give some to close friends and family as a little gift 🙂
How to make Apple Cheesecake Balls
First we need to make a box of yellow cake mix according to the package directions.
Add whatever the package calls for.
I added eggs, water, and vegetable oil to mine.
Then add some ground cinnamon and apple pie seasoning.
Next add a can of apple pie filling to a food processor and pulse a few times.
You could also chop the filling, but fair warning… that can get messy.
Then add the pie filling to the cake batter and stir until combined.
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 dish and bake according to the package directions.
Mine baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Then let the cake cool.
But, hey… go ahead and sample some of your hard work so far 😉
Once cool, use a fork to break the cake into crumbles.
And add a block of cream cheese at room temperature.
Then mix it all together.
And roll them into 32 cake balls.
Place on a tray and pop them into the freezer for 20 minutes.
Then melt white chocolate chips in a bowl.
Microwave for a minute, then in 10 second increments after the first minute (be careful not to overcook as the chocolate can become hard and ruined).
Stir until melted.
Dip each cake ball in the chocolate, let the excess drip off, and sprinkle some toffee chips over top.
Repeat with the remaining cake balls.
If the chocolate becomes too solid, you may need to pop it back in the microwave for a few seconds to melt it again.
Apple Cheesecake Balls will stay good in the fridge for a few days 🙂

Apple Cheesecake Balls
Apple Cheesecake Balls is an easy to make dessert recipe perfect for fall, dipped in white chocolate with toffee chips!
Ingredients
- 1 13.25 ounce package yellow cake mix (plus ingredients on the package to make the cake)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon apple pie seasoning
- 1 20 ounce can apple pie filling
- 1 8 ounce block cream cheese at room temperature
- 24 to 28 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Heath toffee chips
Instructions
-
Mix the cake according to the package directions (mine called for vegetable oil, water, and eggs). Stir in the ground cinnamon and apple pie seasoning.
-
Chop the apple pie filling very small or put in a food processor and pulse a few times. Add the apple pie filling to the cake mix and stir.
-
Put the cake batter in a greased 9×13 dish and bake according to the package directions (mine baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes).
-
Let the cake cool and then use a fork to crumble the cake together. Add the cream cheese and mix together, using your hands if needed.
-
Roll this mixture into 32 cake balls and place on a tray. Freeze them for 20 minutes.
-
Pour the white chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir the chips and microwave 10 more seconds. If they are not melted, microwave for 10 seconds at a time and stir until they are melted.
-
Drop a cake ball into the melted chocolate and using a fork, evenly coat in chocolate and place on a lined baking sheet or tray. Sprinkle some of the toffee chip crumbles on top while the chocolate is still melty. Repeat with remaining cake balls.
Note: You may have to microwave the chocolate a few more times to keep it melted. Let extra chocolate drip off so it's a thin coating and not too thick.
