Apple Salad

  • 6 Apples
  • 16 oz Cool Whip – The large size tub
  • 20 oz Can Crushed Pineapple – I bought 2 cans but only used 1
  • 1 Pack Instant Butterscotch Pudding – I use 2
  • 1 Cup Nuts – More or less however you like – I used lots of chopped pecans

This is the little salad I made to take to the party this evening. It’s one of those very easy recipes to whip up on a Saturday morning and pop in the refrigerator and it’s ready to go when we head out this evening.

I thought it would be fun to snap some pictures as I went.

The Ingredients:

6 clean apples


All cut up and rarin’ to go

Cool Whip – Crushed Pineapple – Butterscotch Pudding (instant) – Nuts


I’ve already dumped the Cool Whip and now pouring the can of crushed pineapple, juice and all.


Pour in the Butterscotch Pudding mix – This is my favorite part in this salad – I use 2 packs for more Butterscotch goodness. To me it adds what seems to be a caramel flavor.


Add the nuts. I’m not stingy, I don’t measure, I just dump in a lot!


Give that mixture a good mix with a spoon.

Then pour the goodness over the apples and mix well to coat all the apples.


Note to self: Mix the Cool Whip blend before chopping the apples. My apples turned a little brown but hopefully no one will notice now that they are all hunkered in.

Unfortunately all my large pretty bowls are in storage so I’ll just have to use the same large mixing bowl. I wiped the sides down and here we have an apple salad.


Cover and refrigerate


Now I too can chill now that my dish is ready.

  1. My mom used to make something VERY similar…with Cool Whip, crushed pineapple, instant *pistacchio* pudding, and choppes pistacchios. It was delish, so I’m guessing this is, too! I like the idea of adding the apples…mmm….
