# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It disappears faster than any dessert I've ever brought to a gathering, and people always ask for the recipe.
  • You can throw it together in minutes without turning on the oven, which saves you on busy days.
  • The tartness of the apples cuts through the sweetness in a way that keeps you reaching for more.
02 -
  • Chop the apples right before mixing or toss them with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning.
  • Don't skip the chilling time, the salad tastes better cold and the pudding firms up just enough to hold everything together.
03 -
  • Freeze the Snickers bars for ten minutes before chopping so they cut cleanly and don't smear.
  • Use a serrated knife on the apples for faster, cleaner cuts, and leave the peel on for color and texture.
