Ingredients

3 medium-sized Fuji apples (washed, cored, and diced)
2 medium-sized Granny Smith apples (washed, cored, and diced)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1¾ cups miniature marshmallows
1½ cups celery, diced
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
½ cup mayonnaise, your favorite brand (I used Kraft Mayo)
⅓ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

Add the diced Fuji and Granny Smith apples to a large salad bowl. Pour the lemon juice over the apples and stir to completely coat the apples.
Add the miniature marshmallows, diced celery, and chopped walnuts to the coated apples. Stir to combine.
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and granulated sugar to a small mixing bowl. Whisk until the sugar is completely incorporated and begins to dissolve.
Spoon the dressing over the apple salad and stir to completely coat all the ingredients.
Serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute any chopped nuts for the walnuts. You can even use candied walnuts or pecans instead of plain nuts.
You can make this the night before. Because of the dairy-based dressing, always keep the salad refrigerated.
You can add seedless grapes, dried craisins, or dried, chopped apricots.
