Instructions

1. Step 1: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for 4-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring frequently to prevent burning; remove from heat and cool.

3. Step 3: Pour 1/4 cup sweet red wine, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the apple mixture and stir until the honey dissolves and ingredients are evenly coated.
4. Step 4: Fold in the cooled toasted walnuts, mixing just until incorporated; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors before serving.
