In a medium-sized bowl, zest and juice one orange, capturing all the vibrant flavors. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and ¾ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the bowl. Whisk everything together until the mixture is well combined and smooth, creating a warm aromatic dressing that will beautifully coat the fruits.

Next, add 16 ounces of red seedless grapes and 12 ounces of blackberries to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the berries into the mixture, ensuring that each piece is delicately coated without damaging the fruits. Set the bowl aside while you prepare the apples, allowing the flavors to meld.

Take 2 large sweet apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, and chop them into bite-sized cubes. To prevent browning, add the apple pieces to the dressing bowl immediately after cutting. The citrus dressing will help keep them fresh and vibrant, enhancing the overall appeal of your fall fruit salad.

Using a large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients in the bowl until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Aim for a colorful mixture that showcases the juicy grapes, dark blackberries, and bright apple chunks. The glossy finish will make your fall fruit salad visually inviting and deliciously tempting.

For the best texture, serve the fall fruit salad immediately. If you need to prepare it in advance, cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to one day. Just before serving, give it a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing and freshen the flavors.
