Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples, chopped Granny Smith apples
- 1 can (20 oz), drained Crushed pineapple
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Whipped topping
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup, chopped (optional) Salted peanuts
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and flour. Whisk together to break up any lumps.
Add the beaten egg, apple cider vinegar, and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles slightly (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let the caramel dressing cool to room temperature.
While the dressing cools, prepare your ingredients. Chop the Granny Smith apples into bite-sized pieces and drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows.
Fold in the whipped topping until everything is evenly coated.
Once the caramel dressing has cooled, pour it over the apple mixture. Gently stir to combine until everything is fully coated with the dressing.
If desired, fold in the chopped peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
