TAFFY APPLE DELUXE SALAD
Why I Love This Recipe
I used to make fruit salads the old fashioned way - fruits swimming in a rich nestle cream and condensed milk dressing. Then one day Titah Linda of Filipiniana Restaurant made me taste her taffy apple salad version, I fell in love with it. This is my version!
