Very very good! So easy to make and leftovers hold up very well without getting brown. Will definitely make again. Nice wintery flavor. I added about 1/4 cup Grand Marnier just to finish off the bottle and it wasn't too much at all.

Acidity in the lemon juice, grapefruit, and pineapple keeps the apple from browning, so you can prepare this colorful side up to a full day in advance.
