Step 1
Start by mixing the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Then, add the softened cream cheese, yogurt, and vanilla, and whisk everything until the mixture is nice and smooth. Next, toss in the chopped apples, most of the walnuts (save a little for topping), and the dried cranberries. Stir everything gently so the fruit and nuts are well coated with the creamy mixture. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top for a little extra crunch. Pop it in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to serve.
