Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat until browned (one shade darker than they originally were) and fragrant, about 2 to 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, add the crema, condensed milk and pineapple juice. Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
  3. Cut the apples in ½ in cubes and add to the milk mixtures as you cut them one at the time. This will prevent the apple from turning brown.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and mix gently with a spatula.
  5. Reserve in refrigerator and chill for 1 hour or overnight. 

Notes

  • Toasting the pecans intensifies the texture, flavor and brings out more of the nutty taste. Do not skip this step!
  • Chop the apples last to prevent browning as much as possible. Once they're in the mixture, they won't brown!
  • Optional: Wait to add the pecans until just before serving if you want them to have a crunch. Nuts turn a little soggy when refrigerated.
