A classic favorite for my family! Love serving it with a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top.

Good recipe, mine got a bit too liquified, since all I had on hand was crushed pineapple ,I wont make that same mistake again! I used one granny smith and one red delicious. The combo made for a nice tart and sweet crunch. I also didint peel the apples, it added a nice color to an otherwise white and bland looking salad! Will make again

Yum! My mother-in-law introduced me to taffy apple salad many Thanksgiving's ago. I loved it so much, I knew I had to eventually make it myself. This is exactly how my MIL makes hers. The only difference is that she leaves the peels on her apples. I agree that leaving them on adds a nice pop of color. For a pretty presentation, I served this in a large glass bowl and garnished with a few more peanuts. NOTE: ALWAYS add flour (or cornstarch - any thickener) to cold liquid FIRST. The idea is to form a slurry that you add to your other ingredients. If you don't, you'll end up with tiny (unappealing) lumps of undissolved flour that are impossible to blend no matter how long you stir. Other than this obvious oversight, this recipe is spot on. Thanks for sharing, Jeanne. I'm sure my neighbors will gobble up the leftovers I bring over there tomorrow! :-)

Try using honey roasted peanuts instead of Spanish peanuts - it's great!

This was delicious and very easy to prepare. The only thing I did differently was cut up a can of sliced pineapple b/c that is all I had and added walnuts instead of peanuts. This was a big hit. I am asked to make it for all of my family get together's. Thanks for a great recipe.

I used gala & granny smith (twice what it calls for), apple cider vinegar, & party peanuts for sweet/salty flavor. The sauce takes awhile to cook down, but it's so worth the creamy yumminess!!
