  • Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to get thin, even slices.
  • Don't overcook the apples: They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Cook them for just a few minutes until they are heated through.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This will add flavor and texture to your salad. Nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and cheese are all good options.
  • Dress the salad lightly: You don't want to overwhelm the delicate flavor of the apples. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-honey dressing is a good choice.
