Apples have always been a favorite fruit for many. There are the traditional desserts, such as apple pie, candied apples, apple crumble, just to name a few. The recipe I will give you today is, in my opinion both a side salad and a dessert. Enjoy! A fresh and delicious idea for any special holiday and any day. Kids love this recipe...whip cream and marshmallows...who can resist?Looking for a healthier choice, use Greek yogurt instead of whip cream. Another variation is using sour cream...try it.
