WOW. Long ago a friend's mom made this for us as an after-school snack and I've been searching for this recipe! So very delicious! DO NOT BE AFRAID to try this recipe. So simple versatile healthy & tasty! Be sure to stir the dressing ingredients until the sugar dissolves completely. Eat this on its own or toss w/ some salad greens & top w/crumbled blue cheese & toasted pecans (serve w/ some extra dressing). Instead of dicing the apples simply slice them and toss w/ dressing in a ziploc bag - makes a great snack for kids. Different & special. REALLY DELICIOUS!! Try it you'll love it.
This is SO GOOD! I would have never thought to do this but it is terrific! When summer comes around I'll try strawberries yummy. Update I have since put these apples on a bed of mixed greens with shaved parmesan cheese on top for a knockout of a salad! Try it you'll like it!
What a delish combo! I used braeburn apples and added black pepper due to others recommendations! It was fabulous...I even added some cayenne for added kick but will reduce the balsamic next time b/c it was a little too much for me. I'm a crazy balsamic fan but this sort of stung the nostrils! I served it over baby spinach added some chopped cashews and feta cheese...no dressing needed!
This was pretty good but not as good as I'd expected. Next time I'll try it with a little less balsamic vinegar. I love balsamic but a little goes a long way. I think that it might also be important to use very coarsely ground pepper.
I normally don't like fresh apples OR vinegar but this recipe was shockingly FANTASTIC and super easy/quick!! In addition to experimenting with different fruits you can also try variations on the vinegar. For example I tried raspberry balsamic vinegar and it was delightful.:)
I'm so glad that I read the ratings on this recipe. The rater that said "DO NOT BE AFRAID" to try this won me over. I LOVED THIS tart and tangy way to eat fruit. I will eat apples more often now. I had red delicious on hand so used them. Used red wine vinegar and doubled the brown sugar for my taste. Thanks for the recipe.
So glad I found this recipe again. I first used it with strawberries and it is the greatest! Like the other rater said don't be afraid to try this. I know vinegar sugar and pepper with fruits sounds awful but it really brings out the flavor.
I'm so glad I tried this recipe. I thought it sounded odd but it was SO good. I didn't change a thing. P.S. Thanks to the reviewer who told us not to be afraid of trying it - you won me over.
Easy and delicious! I skipped the pepper and made just enough for one serving. Makes a perfect snack!
i had high hopes for this one... i might try it again. i didnt care for it i only give it the high rating b/c put it over greens and it makes a ok salad w/dressing
