Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Apples (crisp varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
- 1 cup Whipped cream (heavy cream whipped with sugar, or store-bought)
- 1 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Wash and core the apples, leaving the skin on for extra texture and color. Chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Transfer the apples into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the apples, followed by the Kahlua liqueur. Toss gently to combine and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Fold in the whipped cream, ensuring the apples are coated evenly. If you’re using store-bought whipped cream, give it a quick whisk beforehand for a lighter texture.
Add in the mini marshmallows and chopped pecans (if using). Gently fold them into the mixture.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with a light dusting of ground cinnamon, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
