Enjoy this unique and tasty salad anytime of the year with your favorite apples and grapes. This easy salad is quick enough for an impromptu swimming party yet pretty enough for a holiday party.

My husband and son just love apples. I mean they are apple crazy. They eat one almost everyday with their lunch. I try to keep a variety of apple recipes on rotation for their enjoyment. This recipe, Dutch Apple Pie, Homemade Applesauce, and Easy Southern Fried Apples are just a few of our favorites.

This recipe is so quick and easy that it is doable anytime you have about ten minutes to spare. Simply cube the apples and toss with the lemon juice. Next slice the celery, halve the grapes, and chop the pecans. Then in a large bowl whisk together the mayonnaise and brown sugar. Now add the apples, celery, grapes, pecans, and cranberries. Then stir to coat. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes prior to serving.

I like to use Honeycrisp Apples but any crisp crunchy apple will work well. Pink Lady Apples also known as Cripps Pink, Jazz Apples, Fuji Apples, Braeburn Apples, and even Granny Smith Apples are just some of our favorites. They come out with new delicious apples all the time so feel free to experiment with your favorites.
