When I think of Fall, two specific foods come to mind…
- Pumpkin Pie
- Caramel Apples
I’ve had variations of it at different potlucks and church picnics throughout the years… but of course, I like mine the best
So if you’re in the mood for a caramel apple but don’t necessarily feel like going through all that work; take 10 minutes to make this delicious, light, fluffy Caramel Apple Salad instead!
Recipe for Caramel Apple Salad:
{print this recipe}
Ingredients
- one 3 oz. box Butterscotch Instant Pudding {just the dry mix and it MUST be instant}
- 8-10 oz crushed pineapple with juice {I just dump in about 1/2 of the big 20 oz. cans
- one 8 oz. tub Cool Whip {or you can make your own whipped cream}
- 1 c. salted peanuts
- 1 c. mini marshmallows
- 1 c. chopped Snicker’s bars {optional — we only add this if it’s going to be a dessert}
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples {minus one slice for my loyal helper!}
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix the butterscotch pudding mix with the crushed pineapple until the pudding thickens
- Fold in Cool Whip until combined
- Stir in the nuts and marshmallows {and Snickers if applicable}
- Core and chop apples into bite-size pieces {I leave the peelings on, but you could also peel them}
- Stir in chopped apples and mix until everything is combined
- Eat immediately or cover and refrigerate for later
- Enjoy your “Caramel Apples” without all the mess!
