Taffy Apple Salad

I have been making this recipe for years and years and years.  This is my favorite fruit salad !! I got the recipe from my sister when she worked in the deli at a grocery store.  This salad reminds me of summer.  I love to make it when we cook on the grill, it goes great with burgers, grilled chicken, even hotdogs.  If you love taffy apples, you will love this salad.  Its light and fresh tasting.  I add the peanuts right before serving as I don't want them to get soggy.
