Caramel Apple Salad

Friday, September 21, 2018
I realized calling this a 'salad' is a far stretch, but there are at least 2 healthy ingredients in there, and a salad is a salad is a salad, so.....leave your judge-eeee opinions on some other place.
I've been determined to make one of everything caramel apple right now, and so I had a lot of left overs from the last 17 caramel apple recipes and realized I could make this recipe (originally from The Gunny Sack).
It says it serves 12, but....who are these people?  They need to learn to up their portion size.  Maybe 8?
So if you are looking for a non-salad salad that could be called a dessert, but doesn't have to be, so let's not go there, try this one!
