Caramel Apple Salad, Awesome dessert recipe to use fresh apples

We all have our “weak spot” I can pass up most desserts… but put me near a caramel apple and I am willing to fight for it.  So this recipe for Caramel Apple Salad is one of my favorites for sure.   I might also be guilty from hiding the left overs in the very back of the refrigerator where my children can not find it.  So I can enjoy it, with a big ole spoon in my pj’s later that night (hey don’t judge me lol).

    It is so good!!! Made it a few years ago for a family gathering and people loved it!

    Since I am allergic to nuts what would be a candy I could use for it. Or something to get the caramel flavor? Any suggestions?

    I actually made this snickers salad today but my recipe is a bit different. Family loves this stuff. There are many different variations out there for it. For the caramel apple version I use caramel ice cream topping drizzled over it!

    We call that Snickers Salad in these parts. 🙂 Of course, candy in the name of a salad seems like an oxymoron. I’ve also made it with grapes instead of apples, because my husband is allergic to raw apples. It’s still delicious, in case you were wondering.

    Yes it really is THAT good…. I made it with fresh apples just picked from the orchard…. AMAZING
