Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 6 medium Granny Smith apples cored and sliced into wedges
  • 3 2.07 ounce Snickers bars, diced
  • 1/2 cup of caramel syrup

Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl Preferably chilled, for whipping cream
  • 1 Hand Whisk or Electric Mixer For whipping cream
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Paring Knife or Chef's Knife For dicing apples and candy bars
  • 1 Rubber Spatula For gentle folding

Method
 

  1. Ensure heavy whipping cream and a large mixing bowl are thoroughly chilled to optimize whipping consistency.
  2. In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar.
  3. Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to over-whip into butter.
  4. Core the Granny Smith apples and dice them into uniform bite-sized pieces.
  5. Dice the Snickers bars into similar bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
  6. Gently fold the diced apples and Snickers bars into the whipped cream until just combined, taking care not to deflate the cream.
  7. Transfer the prepared "salad" to a serving bowl.
  8. Generously drizzle caramel syrup over the top of the mixture.
  9. For optimal texture and flavor, serve immediately.
  10. Optional: Garnish with an additional drizzle of caramel or a pinch of flaky sea salt for a balanced finish.

Notes

To achieve the best whipped cream, ensure your heavy cream and mixing bowl are well-chilled before you begin; this helps create a stable, airy consistency. When folding in the apples, diced Snickers, and caramel, be gentle to preserve the light texture of the whipped cream and prevent the apples from bruising. For enhanced flavor and visual appeal, consider a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top to balance the sweetness, or a light dusting of cocoa powder. This "salad" is best served immediately to prevent the apples from oxidizing and the Snickers bars from becoming too soft, compromising their distinct chew.
