Print Recipe

A refreshing and cozy fruit salad featuring crisp apples, creamy cinnamon-infused dressing, and optional nuts and raisins for added texture. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized apples, diced (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup as a substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 4 medium apples. Dice them into bite-sized pieces, removing the core.
  2. Toss the diced apples with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a large mixing bowl to prevent browning.
  3. In a smaller bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the cinnamon dressing over the apples and gently fold it in using a rubber spatula.
  5. Stir in ½ cup of raisins and ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  7. Before serving, give the salad a final stir and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or extra chopped nuts.

Notes

[‘Choose apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala for their sweetness and crunch.’, ‘Taste the dressing before mixing it with the apples to adjust sweetness and tang.’, ‘Toss apples in lemon juice immediately after cutting to prevent browning.’, ‘For a smoother dressing, use a blender to mix the ingredients.’, ‘Assemble the salad no more than 2 hours in advance to keep the apples crunchy.’]
