For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture. Use different types of cheese, such as provolone or cheddar, to customize the flavor. Add some chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty crunch. If you don't have Granny Smith apples, you can use another type of apple, or omit them altogether. For best results, use high-quality deli turkey.
