This is not the prettiest dish I have ever made, that's for sure. I think a splash of color would help (cherries maybe?), but the flavor of this apple salad is truly delicious! I know.. ugly! It's called Taffy Apple Salad, and I found it on Annie's Recipes. I'm not sure really what gives it a bit of taffy apple flavor, but it really is good. This is an entry into the Cooking With Alicia & Annie blog event.
I did make a couple of slight substitutions out of necessity. I didn't have peanuts, so I toasted some pecans I got from Oh! Nuts and chopped them up. I also was out of whipping cream but I had an envelope of Dream Whip in the cabinet. Also, my can of pineapple was in juice, not heavy syrup, and it still worked out fine. One last note, I only had 3 Granny Smiths, but they were rather large. I think next time I try this I'll use brown sugar and see if it makes an even more caramel-y flavor!
While I love to cook and bake, one of my day jobs includes making lots of kid friendly crafts for Disney's Kaboose.com. if you 'd like to see what crafts I'm making, check out
