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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and core the apples. Dice them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the lemon juice to the apples and toss them well. This helps prevent the apples from browning.
Step 3
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows.
Step 4
Add the thawed Cool Whip to the bowl and carefully combine until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the salad and gently mix until the caramel is evenly distributed.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top and lightly mix, reserving a small handful for garnish, if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the caramel apple salad to a serving dish or bowl, and top with the reserved peanuts for presentation.
Step 8
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy!
