AUTUMN SALAD WITH APPLES AND CANDIED WALNUTS



Autumn Salad With Apples and Candied Walnuts image

I got this recipe from and friend and it is my favorite salad. I like to use a lot more sugar than the recipe calls for - About 2-3 tablespoons, but I'll leave the recipe as written and you can sweeten to taste. I also like to use pecans in place of the walnuts.
