For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality apples. Tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp provide a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the other ingredients. Roasting the peanuts before adding them to the salad enhances their flavor and adds a satisfying crunch. You can roast them yourself in a dry skillet or oven, or purchase pre-roasted peanuts. If you're short on time, you can chill the marshmallow mixture and sauce for a minimum of 4 hours each, but the overnight chill is highly recommended for optimal flavor development. To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a tablespoon of lemon juice immediately after chopping.
