Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Mix gently with a silicone spatula until combined.
Use right away or refrigerate for about 4 hours to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

*For a lower carb option, I suggest replacing the apple with asian pear. Most asian pears are very low in sugar. If these are still too much sugar for your diet, I suggest replacing the apple with jicama. You still get a nice juicy crunch, but they're super low in sugar. Jicama will add about 10g net carbs to the entire recipe. // **For low carb and keto, I suggest making your own keto-friendly dried cranberries using a recipe like this one! If you're not feeling that ambitious, you can just omit the dried cranberries altogether.
