Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 bowl for yogurt dressing
- 1 knife for chopping fruit
Ingredients
- 3 –4 large crisp apples chopped
- 1 cup seedless grapes halved
- 1 –2 ripe bananas sliced (optional)
- 1 cup diced pineapple fresh or drained if canned
- 2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt Greek or regular
- 2 –3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup to taste
- 1 –2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 –2 tablespoons peanut butter optional
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ –1 cup chopped peanuts or Snickers-style candy bars
- ½ cup caramel bits or drizzle
- Optional: chocolate chips or toffee bits
Instructions
- Wash and chop apples into bite-size pieces; toss with lemon juice to prevent browning if not serving immediately.
- Halve grapes, slice bananas if using, and add diced pineapple.
- In a bowl, combine yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth.
- If desired, stir in peanut butter until well incorporated for richer flavor.
- Add the prepared fruit to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the yogurt dressing over the fruit and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Fold in mini marshmallows and half of the chopped peanuts or candy pieces carefully.
- Sprinkle the remaining peanuts or candy pieces over the top and drizzle with caramel bits.
- Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving chilled.
Notes
- Marshmallows add chewiness; peanuts or candy bars contribute crunch—adjust amounts as desired.
- Use plain yogurt plus honey for customizable sweetness; vanilla yogurt sweetens naturally.
- Substitute or add fruits like pears, mandarin oranges, or berries for variety.
- Prepare fruit and dressing ahead; add crunchy toppings just before serving to keep them crisp.
