Wash and core the apples, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Place the cubed apples in a large mixing bowl.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the apples and toss to coat. This step prevents the apples from browning while adding a refreshing tang.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and brown sugar until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more brown sugar if desired.
Step 3: Combine the Salad
Pour the dressing over the apples.
Gently toss the apples and dressing together until the apples are evenly coated.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish, snack, or dessert.
Tips + Tricks for Recipe Success
Use Fresh Apples: Choose firm, ripe Honeycrisp apples for the best texture and flavor.
Adjust the Sweetness: Add more or less brown sugar depending on the sweetness of the apples.
Customize the Salad: Add mix-ins like chopped walnuts, pecans, raisins, or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
