1 large red apple (leave skin on), cut in small pieces (Delicious, Cortland, etc.)
1/4 c. diced maraschino cherries
1/4 c. nuts (if you wish)
1/4 c. Miracle Whip
1/4 c. diced celery
1/4 c. shredded coconut
1/4 c. raisins
1/4 c. Cool Whip

Mix all together with a little cherry juice. This not only adds color but prevents apples from turning brown.

It's easy to double or triple this for a crowd.
