TAFFY APPLE SALAD



Taffy Apple Salad image

This is a really great recipe that I found in a Taste of Home cookbook. Plan a little bit ahead because it is really easy to make but does involve some chilling time. The salted peanuts really contrast nicely with the sweet ingredients. Make your salad pretty by adding some extra peanuts and apple slices to the top or layer it in a clear trifle dish. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drain and reserve juice)
4 cups mini marshmallows
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar

  • In a small saucepan, whisk the egg and sugars. Turn the heat to low andwhisk in the flour, cider vinegar, and pineapple juice.
  • Cook and stir until mixture thickens and gets a little bit glossy and reaches 160 degrees.
  • Remove from heat (at this time I also pass the liquid through a mesh strainer to remove the little egg bits if there are any. Sometimes this happens if you dont whisk it all together well in the previous step). Cool completely and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Use firm, crisp apples. This will help them hold their shape in the salad.
  • Slice the apples thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Don't overcook the bacon. You want it to be crispy, but not burnt.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors a chance to meld together.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the apples from turning brown.

Conclusion:

Taffy apple salad is a classic fall dish that is both delicious and easy to make. It's a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy, and it's also a perfect dish to bring to a potluck or party. With its sweet and tangy dressing, crunchy apples, and salty bacon, taffy apple salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
