Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Candy
- 5 full-sized Snickers bars
Dressing
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Optional Topping
- 1/4 cup caramel topping (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them immediately with lemon juice in a large mixing or serving bowl to prevent browning.
- Chop the Snickers: Cut the 5 full-sized Snickers bars into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the apples.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cornstarch, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. This process usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Combine the Salad: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the bowl containing the apples and Snickers bars. Mix carefully to evenly coat all the ingredients without breaking the apple pieces.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled salad until ready to serve. When serving, optionally drizzle with caramel topping for extra sweetness and garnish. Enjoy your creamy, crunchy Apple Snicker Salad!
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for their tart flavor and firm texture, which balances well with the sweetness of Snickers and cream.
- Lemon juice prevents the apples from browning and maintains a fresh appearance.
- Cornstarch helps stabilize the whipped cream, keeping it fluffy longer.
- For a nuttier texture, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.
- Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
- Optional caramel topping adds an extra layer of sweetness but can be skipped for a less sweet salad.
