For an extra layer of flavor, toast the chopped peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them! If you prefer a tarter salad, use slightly underripe Granny Smith apples. Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, in place of the peanuts. This salad is best served chilled and is a perfect make-ahead dessert for potlucks or gatherings.
