Apple Walnut tappenade

This is a recipe I tasted at a Pampered Chef party and I stole it from a consultant's site so it is in Pampered Chef-ese, but it is delicious and I am making it for my family this Christmas, but I might add dried cranberries with the raisins. 

Apple & Walnut Tapenade

Ingredients:
1 lemon
2 small Granny Smith apples, peeled
1/3 cup walnut halves, toasted
1/2 cup raisins
1 tbsp fresh mint leaves

Directions:
1.  Zest lemon using Microplane(R) Zester to measure 3/4 tsp (4 mL). Juice lemon using Citrus Press to measure 1 tbsp (15 mL). Cut apple into wedges using Apple Wedger.

2.  Combine walnuts, raisins and mint in Manual Food Processor; cover and pump handle until coarsely chopped. Add half of the apple wedges, lemon zest and juice; process until coarsely chopped. Add remaining apple wedges; process to desired consistency, removing lid and scraping down sides of bowl as necessary using Mini Mix 'N Scraper(R).

Yield: 16 servings (about 2 cups/500 mL)
Cook's Tip: To toast walnuts or pecans, place in Small Micro- Cooker®; microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 1–3 minutes or until toasted, stirring every 30 seconds.
