How to Make Apple Salad Delight

1. Drain one 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice. Set the drained pineapple aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup white vinegar until smooth.
3. Stir in the reserved 1/2 cup pineapple juice until completely combined.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened, stirring continuously.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
7. In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the large egg to temper it. This prevents the egg from scrambling.
8. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan.
9. Stir constantly over low heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
10. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
11. Once cooled, gently fold in 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip until just combined.
12. Gently fold in the diced apples and drained pineapple.
13. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
14. Just before serving, gently fold in 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped salted peanuts.
