Make dressing earlier in the day to allow it to chill.
In a sauce pan put all dressing ingredients and bring to a boil, stir until it comes to a boil and thickens, this will take just a few minutes.

Chef's Note & Story

Any tart crisp apple can be used. i usually avoid a cooking apple or any apple that is mealy in texture. Always use a Granny Smith and then another apple with a crisp texture
