For best results, use a tart-sweet apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji to balance the sweetness of the other ingredients. Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple very well to prevent the salad from becoming watery. If you don't have Spanish peanuts, you can substitute with other varieties of peanuts or even chopped walnuts or pecans for a different flavor profile. For a lighter version, use light whipped topping and a sugar substitute in the cooked mixture. This salad is best served chilled and can be made a day in advance. However, it's recommended to add the peanuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.
