Fruit Ingredients

  • 2 pieces apples, chopped Any variety can be used.
  • 1 cup grapes, halved

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

Combine the Fruits

  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, halved grapes, orange segments, dried cranberries, and toasted nuts. Gently mix these ingredients together to ensure the fruits and nuts are evenly distributed.

Prepare the Dressing

  • In a small saucepan, whisk together honey, orange juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg over medium heat until warm. Stir the mixture frequently to avoid any burning.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Keep the dressing separate to maintain freshness.
