Cooked Fruit Salad Dressing (Myra's Apple Salad Dressing)

In our family cookbook, this recipe is called Myra's Apple Salad Dressing. Not sure who Myra might be but Aunt Waunita, who submitted the recipe, offered this explanation, "This recipe was given to me by a sister of Aunt Ida." Perhaps the sister was named Myra. Aunt Waunita suggest using the dressing over a salad of apples, celery and nuts, or over a pear salad. I plan to experiment with both but will start by adding it to a fruit salad.

This dressing is SWEET so a little dab will do ya! I added just about 2 tablespoons of the dressing to 1 chopped apples and then mixed in blueberries, halved red grapes and chopped mint.

Note: I added cinnamon to the recipe and think it heightens the flavor . . . especially since I'm a cinnamon fan + cut down the sugar from 1 cup to 3/4 cup.
