Cinnful Apple Fruit Salad

This was my first at tempt of making fruit salad. I just can't resist it because it comes with cinnamon. And I thought it would work well with the Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast. Indeed. They went SO well together that the Breakfast Salad paled in comparison.
It's super easy - you just need to soak the raisin in apple juice the night before and toss all the ingredients together just before serving and Voila!


Ingredients:

(makes about 9 cups)

4 crisp sweet apples

2 bananas, sliced thin

2 sweet pears

½ cup raisins (I mixed raisins with dried blueberry and cranberry)

1 cup unsweetened apple juice

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt

¼ tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. vanilla extract

½ tsp. cinnamon

Sliced roasted almonds (optional)

  1. Pour raisins into juice and refrigerate overnight. Also refrigerate all uncut fruit overnight.
  2. Chop fruit shortly before serving and mix in large bowl.
  3. Fold in yogurt, lemon juice, apple juice with raisins, vanilla and cinnamon.
  4. Sprinkle each serving with sliced almonds. (I forgot this last step....)
