Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large Honeycrisp apples, diced
  • 2 cups red grapes, halved
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the pecans for 3 to 5 minutes, shaking frequently until golden and fragrant.
  2. Remove pecans from heat and let them cool completely on a plate.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples and halved red grapes.
  4. Toss the fruit gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  5. Drizzle the honey over the fruit and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
  6. Fold the mixture gently using a silicone spatula to combine.
  7. Add the cooled toasted pecans just before serving to maintain their crunch.

Notes

You can substitute Honeycrisp apples with Fuji for extra sweetness. Ensure pecans are cooled completely before adding to the salad to prevent the fruit from wilting. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 hours; consume promptly for the best texture.
