Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by zesting the orange into a large mixing bowl, followed by juicing it. Whisk in the maple syrup and ground cinnamon until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  2. Next, gently add the red seedless grapes and blackberries to the bowl with the orange dressing. Fold the fruits into the dressing for about 30 seconds.
  3. Take your sweet apples, cube them right before adding, and fold them gently into the mixture for another 30 seconds.
  4. If using chopped pecans, add them now for extra crunch and gently fold them in.
  5. Serve your Fall Fruit Salad immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving. Toss before serving.
  6. Serve in a beautiful bowl to showcase the colorful fruits.
