Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples with different textures and flavors, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji. This will create a more interesting and flavorful salad.
Slice the apples thinly: This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
Don't overcook the apples: They should still have a slight crunch to them.
Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to bring out the flavors of the apples and other ingredients.
Add some nuts or seeds for extra crunch: Walnuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
Serve the salad immediately: This is when it is at its best.
