Today’s apple recipe requires no cooking. Â It is a simple side dish that incorporates raw apples. Â This apple slaw uses both sweet and tart varieties. Â It is the perfect side for fall with a great sweet crunch! It’s also fresh and delicious!
I also love the color of the apple slaw. Â I left the nuts out when making this because my family isn’t fans of them. Â You could always leave the nuts on the side so those who want it can sprinkle it on their own individual serving.
I love that the main part of this salad is apples with a little cabbage mixed it. Since you use both red and green apples, it’s a nice color and flavor combo. The craisins also add a nice texture and sweetness.
To begin, combine some sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl until blended. Then add the apples, coleslaw mix, craisins, and walnuts. Toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
