Here's what I made: Apples with Cinnamon Cheesecake Dip [really original, right?]

As you might have read, a couple of weekends back, we went to New Hampshire and did some apple picking.  Not only did we make applesauce, but we had a bunch left over for our lunches and for me to concoct with!  

Ingredients:

- 2 Tablespoons cream cheese [softened]

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1 teaspoon brown sugar

- about 5 crushed butterscotch buttons

- 1 Macoun apple

Directions: Combine all ingredients [except apple] in a small bowl and mix.  Slice apples and dip apples into dip.  Enjoy!
