FAQs

What apples work best for this salad?

Granny Smith apples add a nice tartness, while Honeycrisp or Fuji provide a sweeter balance.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

How do I prevent the apples from browning?

Toss the diced apples in a little lemon juice before adding them to the salad to prevent browning.

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Yes! Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then use it in place of Cool Whip.

It’s both! Some people serve it as a fun side dish, while others enjoy it as a dessert.
