Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 4 medium Red Delicious apples
- 1 can (20 oz) Crushed pineapple
- 2 cups Miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 8 oz Whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Wash and core the Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly, pressing lightly to remove excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, drained pineapple, and miniature marshmallows.
Add the salted peanuts to the bowl and gently toss to combine.
In a separate small bowl, mix the whipped topping, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the whipped topping mixture over the apple mixture and gently fold until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional crushed peanuts or a light dusting of cinnamon.
