Ingredients

1

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

1 pkg. light sour cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 lbs crisp

2 cups cold water

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 cup chopped Fishers Walnuts

3/4 cup dried cranberries

Directions

In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, whip together Neufchatel cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add sour cream and vanilla and blend until combined. Chill until ready to serve salad.

I n a medium mixing bowl combine water and lemon juice. Dice apples into cubes, while cutting out core, and as your cutting them in batches dump them into the lemon water mixture and let rest about 1 minute then drain on paper towels . Transfer apples to a bowl along with about 3/4 of the walnuts and 3/4 of the cranberries, and the Neufchatel cheese mixture. Toss to coat apples evenly. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 of the walnuts and cranberries over top. Keep chilled and serve within an hour for best results*.
