Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 oz) pkg. Neufchatel cheese, softened slightly ((light cream cheese))
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 (8 oz) pkg. light sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 lbs crisp, (sweet apples, chilled (I used a combo of Gala, Jazz and Golden Delicious))
2 cups cold water, (for soaking apples)
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, (for soaking apples)
1 cup chopped Fishers Walnuts
3/4 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • For the dressing: In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, whip together Neufchatel cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add sour cream and vanilla and blend until combined. Chill until ready to serve salad.
  • For the fruit salad:I n a medium mixing bowl combine water and lemon juice. Dice apples into cubes, while cutting out core, and as your cutting them in batches dump them into the lemon water mixture and let rest about 1 minute then drain on paper towels (this just reduces the browning).
  • Transfer apples to a bowl along with about 3/4 of the walnuts and 3/4 of the cranberries, and the Neufchatel cheese mixture.
  • Toss to coat apples evenly. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 of the walnuts and cranberries over top. Keep chilled and serve within an hour for best results*.

Time 4h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup cinnamon candies, such as Red Hots
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and each cut into eighths
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
One 16-ounce store-bought pound cake, cut into 8 slices
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the candies, brown sugar and 2 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the candies and sugar have fully melted, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the apples and bring to a boil. Cook until the apples are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and transfer to a heatproof dish. Allow the syrup to boil for an additional 5 minutes to thicken and intensify. Pour the syrup over the apples and allow to cool. Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve, warm a griddle over medium heat. Butter the griddle and toast the slices of pound cake for about 2 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed.
  • To plate, place a piece of pound cake on each plate. Top with a scoop of ice cream and 4 apple slices. Drizzle with additional syrup and garnish with the mint.

THIS RECIPE came from my mother. It's a family favorite and one I took with me when I left home. The color complements the holiday season. It's very pretty when cut into squares and served on a lettuce-lined plate.
