Steps:

- Apply salad dressing to individual servings.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For this salad, it's best to use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when sliced. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are good choices.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly in the dressing.
- Don't overcook the apples: You want them to be slightly softened, but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Use a good quality almond butter: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing.
- Toast the almonds: This will give them a nutty flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Add the salad greens at the end: This will help prevent them from wilting.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is best when it's fresh.
