Ingredients
-
4 large Granny Smith apples (or Honeycrisp, Fuji, or a mix)
-
4 Snickers bars, chopped into bite-sized pieces
-
1 (3.4 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
-
1 cup cold milk
-
1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream)
-
1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
Optional: mini marshmallows, chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts), or crushed graham crackers
Instructions
-
Wash the apples and dry them. Cut into small bite-sized cubes.
-
Chop the Snickers bars into small pieces, keeping them cold to make them easier to cut.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
-
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
-
Add in the chopped apples and Snickers. Gently fold to coat them evenly with the pudding mixture.
-
Add optional ingredients, like mini marshmallows or chopped nuts, and mix gently.
-
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. You can also mix some into the salad before serving if preferred.
-
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
If you prefer a tangy flavor, try adding a bit of lemon juice to the apples to prevent browning.
For a healthier version, use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping.
Add more fruit like grapes or strawberries for a fresh twist.
