Notes

    • Any type of apples will work such as Honey crisp, Gala or Fuji apples ; traditionally a red apple is used; however, Granny Smith apples would taste great too.  
    • Walnuts or pecans work perfectly; they both have great texture and crunch.
    • Refrigerate for a couple hours in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld together.
