Notes

  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor.
  • Granny Smith apples are especially good because they balance the sweetness.
  • If making ahead, toss apples with lemon juice or lemon-lime soda, then pat dry before mixing.
  • Keep the salad chilled until serving so it stays thick and creamy.
  • Add caramel sauce right before serving for the best look and flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.
  • Do not freeze this recipe, the texture does not hold up well.
  • For a thicker dressing, add instant vanilla or butterscotch pudding mix with milk.
