Indulge in the irresistible blend of sweetness and crunch with our Easy Caramel Apple Salad. Begin by selecting crisp apples, diced into bite-sized pieces to provide a satisfying crunch in every forkful.
Drizzle the apple pieces with caramel sauce, ensuring each one is coated with the rich and velvety sweetness. The caramel adds a decadent touch, reminiscent of the classic caramel-dipped apples enjoyed at fairs and festivals.
Incorporate mini marshmallows for a delightful chewy texture and a hint of sweetness that complements the caramel. The marshmallows add a playful element, making the salad a hit with both kids and adults.
For an extra layer of creaminess, fold in whipped cream or vanilla yogurt. The creamy addition balances the sweetness and provides a luscious texture, making the salad more indulgent.
Introduce a nutty crunch with chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts. The nuts contribute depth and a satisfying texture, elevating the overall flavor profile.
Gently toss the ingredients to ensure an even distribution of the caramel, whipped cream, marshmallows, and nuts. Allow the salad to chill for a brief period, allowing the flavors to meld and enhancing its overall deliciousness.

Step 1: Stir whipped topping, pineapple, and butterscotch pudding mix together in a bowl until smooth. Fold apples and peanuts into pudding mixture until salad is well mixed.
Step 2: Refrigerate salad until completely chilled, at least 30 minutes.
I couldn't find instant butterscotch pudding so I used cheesecake flavor instead. Granny Smith is my preferred apple. I used half a cup of peanuts because more seemed like overkill. I drizzled caramel sauce over it before serving and everyone really enjoyed it.
This was a hit I added 6 snack size snickers like others and used a large can of drained pineapple tidbits and included the peanuts. Very good!
I make this for outings all the time. S0000---- easy. I also make a low carb sugar free version. Love it!
This salad was so amazing! We also swapped the peanuts for cut up snickers bar (lots of snickers).
Made as listed but added a quarter cup of caramel dip.
We liked it, but want to try making with fresh pineapple instead of canned.
I used lite cool whip and sugar free pudding
I made this with my grandmother and she and I loved it! LOL
Love this recipe! I used Granny Smith apples - left the peeling on for fiber, flavor, texture and color. I also used fat free Cool Whip and sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix. I was also careful to use Libby's Skinnyfruit no sugar added pineapple. I'm on Weight Watcher's right now and 1 cup is only 3 delicious Smartpoints!
