[Applause] Welcome back to my kitchen today I’m going to be making an apple salad salad for the holiday so I would love to share this recipe with you so I hope you’ll join me and learn how to make this wonderful apple salad for your family for the holiday so let’s get started

Let’s dive in and get going all right we’re going to take four apples and you want to take your apples and you want to um you want to peel them you want to core them stem them and you want to chop these up in little cubes so

We’re going to go ahead and do that now so how I wanted to show you what size I’m cutting these apples up so that’s about the size you want it I’m going to go ahead and finish these apples and I’ll get right back with you I’m okay welcome back I’m going to show

You how much I have in here now this this is only about four um apples and what I have here is Gayla apples they’re kind of sweet you can use any kind of apple honey crisp Fuji um there’s all different kinds out there but um this is what I found in the

Store and I thought well I love Gayla apples and so that’s what we got here four chopped up cord pilled Gayla apples so after we got that done we now want to add some raisins now I actually um I want to show you what I got I saw this

In the store it’s it’s called dried berries golden raisin it’s got a mix of cranberry golden raisins and cherries so I normally use just raisins but I thought this would be very beautiful for the holidays so and give it a lot of color so I’m going to do probably

About um let’s say about a half a cup and that is so pretty I I want to show you how beautiful these colors are look at that look at the colors of those golden raisins and cranberry and um then you got your regular raisins in there and cherries so

That will make a wonderful apple salad so now we’re going to add some um sugar to this and normally I I put put about a heaping teaspoons per one apple so but what I’m going to do is about three tablespoons of sugar for this many so we’re going to sprinkle that on

There now if you don’t like that much sugar you can always cut back a tablespoon and then I have about a four of cup of chopped pecans or pecans who wherever you’re from however you say it so we’re going to put that in there as well it’s already looking like a rainbow

Of colors look at that doesn’t that look wonderful folks this is such a wonderful salad um I used to sit with a elderly gentleman and he loved apple salad so I would make it just for him when I stayed with him and he absolutely loved it now we’re going to take

About um I got here about a a half a cup of mayonnaise and I may do a little bit more probably about 34 cup so we’re going to see how this does and I’m using Duke’s Mayonnaise my favorite here let’s I’m making a mess okay so we’re going to mix this all

In and you think mayonnaise in a salad like this a fruit salad it absolutely is wonderful because what’s going to happen is you’re going to put this in the refrigerator and you’re going to let it chill and all the juices in the Apple starts to release and the fruit in here

Starts making its own juices and it begin begins to just kind of blend all this mayonnaise and sugar and fruit together with this apple I think I’m going to put a little bit more so I’m going to do another four of cup about I’m going

Eyeball it so we’re going to do about 34 cup of mayonnaise all together for four apples so let’s kind of recap this so we have four mediumsized apples chopped peeled and CED and then we going to uh put a half a um a four of cup of

Pecans we have here about roughly I want to say this is about 3 tablespoon of sugar and then we have 34 cups of mayonnaise and you really want to mix this in very well and also you have also I did probably about a half a cup

Of the mixture with the berries and the golden raisins and it has dried cranberries and cherries but certainly you could use dates if you like dates you can use just plain rais if you like just raisins only so but I thought this would be so wonderful for

Thanksgiving or for the holidays to have a very colorful apple salad so oh it smells so good and I’ll go ahead and let you look at it it doesn’t look that pretty yet but it’s all all Blended in with all those wonderful juices and and wonderful

Fruit and nuts and we’re going to put this in the refrigerator and let this chill for I would definitely do this probably for a couple hours okay we’re back and I want to show you I have a a little platter here this actually belonged to my mother-in-law

Grandma Jean and she gave that to me so I wanted mentioned her remember her she was precious to me but anyway we’re back and I have a wonderful bed of greens some spring mix greens to kind of give it a little color and you can also if

You like you can also put a little bit of lemon juice in this to keep it from turning if you like as well I never had a problem just doing it without it but if you like that that little bit of hint of lemon in your salad by all means put

That in there as well maybe about a teaspoon we’ll do so anyway we’re going to take this and we’re going to put this right on top of our bed of lettuce right in the Center I tell you this is such a wonderful holiday salad and really for any event you could do this so Beautiful that is so beautiful folks okay and there you have it and if you feel like you wanted to do more you need need more you can double the recipe here you go folks this is my wonderful apple salad it is absolutely delicious it is on the sweet side so
