There's plenty of crunch in this refreshing salad that's perfect for autumn when apples are ripe for the picking. The simple milk and sugar dressing allows the fruit and veggie flavors to shine. You could use vanilla yogurt in place of the cooked dressing. —Shirley Joan Helfenbein, Lapeer, Michigan

After reading the reviews, I modified the recipe by substituting corn syrup for the sugar and added vanilla after taking it off the stove. Lightly sweet taste which wouldn't overpower the fruit. Also added dried cranberries and raisins for an added texture

Overall it was very tasty- however, the cream base was a bit lacking in flavor and consistancy. I think I might try using some sort of yogart next time.

The Yogurt sounds great to me too. I usually use Miracle whip plus a little sugar so I will be trying both of the above. Thanks, Anna

I make a salad that is very similar: chopped apples (I like to use one granny, one red delicious and one golden delicious), sliced celery, cashews, and pina colada or vanilla yogurt. Simple and yummy.

I love apples in a salad, and I think the vanilla yogurt idea is great. I will be making this soon.Thanks for the recipe.
