EASY CARAMEL APPLE SALAD WITH CINNAMON

Only 4 to 5 ingredients. Only takes 5 to 10 minutes to make. You can also make it with sugar-free whipped topping and sugar-free candy bars (great for diabetics). I like to use a combination of red, green, and golden apples in the summer mostly because the different colors are pretty. I also use just red and green apples for a Christmas dessert. You can use any combination of your favorite apples.

CARAMEL APPLE SALAD (FLUFFY APPLE SALAD)



Caramel Apple Salad (Fluffy Apple Salad) image

I got this recipe from my little sister. It was called Caramel Apple Salad, but I personally don't think butterscotch pudding tastes like caramel apples... nonetheless, it is a delightful sweet side dish/salad or dessert. Other recipes I've seen on 'Zaar all have pineapple, so I am posting this one as it does not. I prefer Granny Smith or another tart apple in this salad as it is quite sweet, but you can use whatever apples you have on hand. :) Prep time includes chilling time; may also be frozen.

Time 30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (4 ounce) box instant butterscotch pudding mix
3 cups diced apples
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup mini marshmallows
additional peanuts, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together Cool Whip and butterscotch pudding mix until smooth and uniform. (Note: you do NOT make the pudding prior to this step, you simply combine the dry mix with the whipped topping.).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine diced apples, peanuts, and marshmallows. Add the Cool Whip mixture and fold together gently until completely combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, or scoop into a lightly greased baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Serve frozen salad cut into squares--you may need to defrost for a few minutes to half an hour so that it will cut neatly. Garnish with chopped peanuts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the caramel sauce better.
  • Make the caramel sauce in advance: This will give it time to cool and thicken. You can make it up to 3 days ahead of time.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give the apples plenty of room to cook and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat: This will help them caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the apples frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcook the apples: They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature: This is when it tastes best.

Conclusion:

Fluffy Caramel Apple Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh apples, a creamy caramel sauce, and a fluffy whipped topping.
