Directions
Blend the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Then, add the softened cream cheese, yogurt, and vanilla, and whisk everything until you get a smooth, creamy mixture. Toss in the chopped apples, most of the walnuts (save a little for garnish), and the dried cranberries. Give it a good stir so all the fruit and nuts are nicely coated with the creamy dressing. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top, and pop it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
Serving Recommendations
Serve it as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish. It also works well topped with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of feta cheese for extra flavor.
Refrigeration Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. To keep the apples from browning, squeeze a little lemon juice over them before storing. Best eaten within a day for maximum freshness.
