Tips and Tricks for Apple Snicker Salad
- Switch up the apples! If you want a different taste to this Apple Snicker Salad, switch up the variety of apple. If you want it sweeter, consider: gala, fuji or honey crisp. For a tart and sweet mixture consider: jazz, pink lady or jonagold.
- You can make this dish ahead of time, but be sure to “treat’ the apples to slow the browning process. We suggest adding lemon or lime juice (about 1 tablespoon) to 1 cup of water and soaking the diced apples for about 3 minutes. Then pat dry and continue with the recipe.
- You can make this recipe dairy-free by using non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, non-dairy pudding mix (many are already dairy-free!), non-dairy whipped topping (CocoWhip is dairy-free), and dairy-free caramel sauce.
- Leftovers? This Apple Snicker Salad should store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in a covered container.

Notes
- You can make this recipe dairy-free by using non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, non-dairy pudding mix (many are already dairy-free!), non-dairy whipped topping (CocoWhip is dairy-free), and dairy-free caramel sauce.
- You can use other flavors of pudding mix, such as butterscotch or caramel for this recipe.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It’s best served in the same day for optimal texture.
- I used a combination of apples - honeycrisp and granny smith. Both are very crisp, which hold up well in the salad. I like the tartness from the granny smith and the crisp sweetness from the honeycrisp. The combination is great, but you can also just use one variety if you prefer.
- I prefer to leave the skin on my apples for this recipe. It adds additional texture. You can peel the apples if you prefer.

What a delicious dessert! I'm so happy to have found this, as I would never have thought to put these things together!
Mine is currently chilling in the fridge, ready to eat later. I may or may not need to stop myself from "testing" it though as it chills...
