What apples work best for this dessert?

Granny Smith apples are preferred for their tartness and firm texture, which balances the sweetness and keeps the salad crisp.

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Absolutely! Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form for a fresh, airy alternative to Cool Whip. Sweeten if desired.

How far ahead can I prepare this dish?

It can be made several hours ahead. To keep apples from browning, toss them with lemon juice or 7-Up before mixing in.

Can I use other candy bars?

While Snickers offers caramel and peanut flavors, you can substitute other chocolate bars for varied taste and texture.

Do I need to add caramel sauce?

The caramel drizzle is optional but elevates the dessert with extra sweetness and visual appeal.

How should leftovers be stored?

Cover and refrigerate leftovers. For best texture, enjoy within 24 hours as the apples and cream may release liquid over time.
