Fall Fruit Salad with Apples and Grapes

I’m usually pretty sad when summer comes to an end, but I do love the fall! Seeing the leaves change colors, apple and pumpkin picking and all the wonderful things we can do when the weather cools! This fall fresh fruit salad made with apples and grapes is the perfect fall treat. It’s light and crisp, with a mixture of flavors and textures, and requires no cooking, it’s absolutely addicting!

What You’ll Need to Make This Easy Fruit Salad

• Fruit: 3 cups green seedless grapes and 4 cups diced gala apples
• Lemon juice, to prevent the apples from browning
• Creamy dressing: Greek yogurt, light cream cheese, light agave, maple syrup, honey or brown sugar and vanilla extract.
• For Topping: brown sugar and chopped walnuts, or pecans

How to Make Fall Fruit Salad

This fall or winter fruit salad comes together in four quick steps. I’d make it within a few hours of serving and wait to add the topping until right before.

1. Fruit: Slice the grapes in half and cut the apples into small pieces. Drizzle lemon juice over the apples so they don’t brown.
2. Sauce: Mix the yogurt, cream cheese, agave, and vanilla extract.
3. Salad: Combine the fruit with the sauce and put in one large serving bowl or eight small ones.
4. Topping: Combine the brown sugar and crushed walnuts and sprinkle over the fruit salad.

How to Serve Fall Fruit Salad

This fruit medley is the BEST FALL FRUIT SALAD! It’s so easy to whip up for dessert or snack and great for a crowd. You could serve it as a Thanksgiving fruit salad or dessert for the holidays.

Variations and Tips:

• Fruit: Use different apples like Honeycrisp apples. Or substitute with other fruit like Bartlett pears, pomegranate seeds, or dried cranberries.
• Make It Lighter: Skip the cream cheese and double the yogurt.
• Use Different Nuts: Try it with pecans or almonds
• Make it Nut-Free: Swap the nuts with hemp seeds, pepitas, or chopped pretzels.
• Spices: Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the nuts.
• Adjust the Serving Size: You can easily double this autumn fruit salad recipe to feed a crowd or halve it for fewer servings.
