Caramel Apple Salad

Caramel Apple Salad

Ingredients

8 oz. Tub of Cool Whip FREE
1 box sugar free instant Butter Scotch Pudding mix
14 oz. Can pineapple tidbits in juice
4 large Red Delicious or Fuji Apples (or more)
4 large Granny Smith Apples (or more)


Directions

Combine pudding mix and pineapple (with juice) in large bowl. Mix well and set aside. Dice apples into small pieces and combine with pudding mixture. Fold in Cool Whip FREE till well mixed. Chill and serve.

** I like to make this with as many apples as I can put into the pudding mixture and still have the apples pieces fairly well coated ... Lots more apple than creamy mixture ... Almost like a dressing.

** This is also delicious made with Sugar Free Vanilla pudding. It doesn't have the same 'caramel apple' flavor, but it is incredibly yummy!
