Apple Salad

Apple Salad

My friend, Lucille, gave me this recipe, and I have added a bit to it for more flavor. Sometimes I add lemon juice and 1/2 package peach Jell-O.

Recipe

• 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, undrained
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 3-ounce package lemon Jell-O
• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup diced unpeeled apples
• 1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup whipped topping

In saucepan, combine pineapple and sugar. Boil three minutes. Add Jell-0. Stir until dissolved. Add cream cheese; stir until mixture is thoroughly combined. Cool. Fold in apples, nuts, celery, and whipped topping. Pour into a 9-inch square pan. Chill until firm. Cut into squares and serve on lettuce leaves. Makes 9-12 servings.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: Use mini-bundt pans or a decorative mold and serve over lettuce with apple slices.
