Instructions

Wash Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly under cold water and dry them with a paper towel to ensure they are clean and ready for preparation.
Core and Chop Apples: Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for extra texture and color in the salad.
Toss with Lemon Juice: Place the chopped apples in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with lemon juice, and gently toss to coat. This prevents the apples from browning and keeps them fresh.
Chop Snickers Bars: Unwrap the Snickers bars and chop them into small 1/2-inch chunks for easy mixing and even distribution of flavor.
Set Aside Snickers: Place the chopped Snickers in a small bowl, ready to be mixed with the other ingredients.
Add Sweets to Apples: Add the mini marshmallows and chopped Snickers to the bowl containing the apples.
Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the whipped topping and vanilla yogurt thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy dressing.
Fold in Dressing: Gently fold the dressing into the apple, Snickers, and marshmallow mixture, taking care not to overmix to maintain texture.
Add Nuts: If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts to add a crunchy element to the salad.
Cover Salad: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a serving dish and cover to protect it before chilling.
Refrigerate: Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and for the salad to firm up.
Stir Before Serving: Before serving, gently stir the salad to redistribute the ingredients evenly.
Serve: Scoop the salad into individual serving bowls or onto a large platter. Garnish with extra chopped Snickers or nuts if desired.
Optional Caramel Drizzle: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle caramel sauce over the top just before serving.

Notes

Using a mix of sweet and tart apples adds depth of flavor and balance to the salad.
Leaving the apple skins on adds texture and color but can be removed if preferred.
The salad is best served chilled; allowing it to rest in the fridge helps the flavors meld.
Chopped nuts can be omitted or replaced with seeds for nut-free versions.
Caramel drizzle is optional but adds a delicious finishing touch.
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat whipped topping and yogurt.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for freshness.
