Apple Fruit Salad image

Lots of apples are grown in southern Illinois, and this is one of my favorite ways to use them. I like Golden Delicious, or a combination of Golden and Red Delicious for pretty color, but you can use whatever type of apple you prefer. The cooked dressing gives the salad an old-fashioned feel.

This salad is a great way to use up seasonal fruits. In the summer, I use fresh berries and peaches. In the fall, I use apples and grapes. And in the winter, I use citrus fruits and pears.
