Add the salted peanuts to the bowl and gently toss to combine.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, mix the whipped topping, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the whipped topping mixture over the apple mixture and gently fold until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
