TAFFY APPLE SALAD
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!

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.
