Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and spread walnuts on a baking sheet. Toast for 5 minutes until fragrant, then set aside to cool.
  2. Peel, core, and dice the Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place the chopped apples in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with lemon juice immediately to prevent browning. Toss gently to coat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining lemon juice and curry powder (if using additional curry beyond what's implied by the title, otherwise rely on the lemon juice for the base dressing as per ingredients). *Note: Since curry powder isn't explicitly listed in ingredients but is in the title, assume it's added to taste or included in the 'lemon juice' mix contextually for flavor.*
  5. Fold the toasted walnuts into the apple mixture.
  6. Drizzle with the lemon juice mixture and toss everything together until evenly distributed.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
