Ingredients for Apple Dessert Salad

  • Red Delicious Apples

How to Make Apple Dessert Salad

  1. Wash and chop 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala) into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, 1 cup of drained crushed pineapple, ½ cup raisins, and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  3. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (cool whip or similar).
  4. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly before serving.
  5. Garnish with extra pecans or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
