Apple Maple Walnut Salad

1 large apple, cored and diced, not peeled
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2  cup dried cranberries
1/2  cup raisins
1/2  cup chopped celery
1/2  cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp. butter
1/4  cup maple syrup
salt

On low heat, melt the butter and stir in the maple syrup. Add the walnuts. Simmer for about 2 minutes while you chop the apple and celery. Sprinkle the apple with lemon juice.

Take the walnuts off the heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes. The syrup may thicken slightly. That's OK

Combine all the other ingredients into a bowl. Salt lightly. Add the walnut-syrup mix and stir to coat all ingredients. This is great alone or served with a chunk of cheese and crackers.
