Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 3 medium Red apples (e.g., Fuji or Gala)
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (whipped topping, thawed)
- 1 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Peanuts (salted, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and core the apples. Dice them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the apples and toss them well. This helps prevent the apples from browning.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows.
Add the thawed Cool Whip to the bowl and carefully combine until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the salad and gently mix until the caramel is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top and lightly mix, reserving a small handful for garnish, if desired.
Transfer the caramel apple salad to a serving dish or bowl, and top with the reserved peanuts for presentation.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
