Apple Fruit Salad Recipes

Banana, Apple Fruit Salad with Greek Yogurt

Ingredients

1 large red apple (diced)
1 large green apple (thinly sliced)
1 banana (sliced)
15 seedless green grapes (sliced in half)
3 tbsp. of Greek yogurt
¼ cup fresh orange juice
3 pinches of cinnamon powder
Sprinkle of rose water

Method

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients first―apples, banana, grapes, and cinnamon. Use a pair of salad spoons to toss the fruit around so that it is well-coated with the cinnamon. Next, dump the Greek yogurt into the bowl, folding its contents from the bottom-up. Add the orange juice to the bowl, folding it once, before sprinkling rose water over the top.

Very Berry, Marshmallow-y Apple Salad

Ingredients

Cranberries (100 g)
1 large red apple (thinly sliced)
8 raspberries
3 tbsp. of low-fat cream
3 tbsp. of miniature marshmallows
1 tbsp. of peanut butter
½ cup of pecans (chopped)

Method

Dump all the fruits into a big bowl, followed by the low-fat cream. Fold it from the bottom-up to make sure everything is coated with the cream. Next, add the peanut butter and fold the ingredients once again. Garnish with the marshmallows and pecans.

Caramel-Laced Apple Pudding

Ingredients

2 cups of crushed pineapple
1 large egg (whole)
2 tbsp. of all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar
2 large green apples (diced)
¼ cup of sugar
½ cup of pistachios (chopped)
Dollop of whipped cream
2 tbsp. of caramel sauce (melt 1 tbsp. of sugar with 1 tbsp. of unsalted butter, if you don’t have packaged caramel)

Method

In a shallow nonstick pot, combine all the ingredients except the apples and pistachios. Stir continuously on a medium-high flame until the mixture takes on a pudding-like consistency. Pour the mixture into a glass deep-dish and garnish with diced apples, caramel sauce, and pistachios, before placing it in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
