Caramel Apple Salad

About 10 years ago my mom made this recipe and I really loved it so I asked her to send me the recipe. Like a good lil' mama, she emailed it to me the next day. But somehow life must have taken over and I never got around to making it. Fast forward to 2019 and I got a hankering for it, so I searched my email and found the recipe. I made this salad for a BBQ at my boyfriend's house. It was a big hit, especially with his dad who told me it was "marketable" which I took as high praise indeed! And in case you're wondering, it really does taste like caramel apples!

1 egg
2 Tbsp. flour
1 10 oz. can crushed pineapple
1/2 tsp. vinegar
1/4 C sugar
2 C mini marshmallows

Drain pineapple juice into a sauce pan and add sugar, flour, egg and vinegar. Cook until thick, then add marshmallows and melt. Stir in the pineapple and then put in the fridge for several hours.

Before serving add:
5 1/2 C apples, chunks
12 oz. cool whip
1 bag of caramel bits (buy them by the chocolate chips)
1 1/2 C salted peanuts, chopped
