Notes

Tips for the Best Results

Use crisp apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best texture.
Slice apples thin so they blend well with the creamy dressing.
Crush pretzels just before mixing to keep them from getting too soft.
If making ahead, wait to add pretzels until right before serving.
