Description
A vibrant apple fruit salad with a warm fall spice dressing, perfect for autumn gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups assorted apples, diced
- 1 cup orange segments
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by prepping your apples; core and dice them into bite-sized pieces. Go ahead and mix them with orange segments and a splash of lemon juice in a large bowl.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once that’s melted, whisk in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it’s fully combined and slightly thickened.
- Pour the warm spice mixture over the apple and orange mixture and give it a gentle toss to coat.
- Let it sit for a few minutes to let those flavors meld, then dig in while it’s still slightly warm.
Notes
For added crunch, consider tossing in nuts like walnuts or pecans. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an elevated experience.
