• Step 1: Wash, core, and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. Place the diced apples in a large mixing bowl.
• Step 2: Add the miniature marshmallows and chopped nuts to the bowl with the apples. Gently toss to combine.
• Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix the creamy dressing (such as whipped topping or sour cream-based dressing) until smooth and creamy.
• Step 4: Pour the creamy dressing over the apple mixture and gently fold to coat all the ingredients evenly.
• Step 5: Fold in the chopped taffy or caramel pieces, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
• Step 6: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Step 7: When ready to serve, transfer the taffy apple salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle the reserved taffy or caramel pieces on top.
