Caramel Apple Salad Fluffy Apple Salad

---

I got this recipe from my little sister. it was called caramel apple salad, but i personally don't think butterscotch pudding tastes like caramel apples... Nonetheless, it is a delightful sweet side dish/salad or dessert. other recipes i've seen on 'zaar all have pineapple, so i am posting this one as it does not. i prefer granny smith or another tart apple in this salad as it is quite sweet, but you can use whatever apples you have on hand. :) prep time includes chilling time; may also be frozen.
