Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 3 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), sliced thin
- Lemon juice to prevent browning
Toppings
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter), melted slightly
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Thinly slice the apples and arrange them in an even layer on a large plate or serving platter. Lightly drizzle the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
- Warm the Peanut Butter: Slightly melt the peanut butter in the microwave for 15–20 seconds until it becomes pourable, making it easier to drizzle evenly over the apples.
- Assemble the Nachos: Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the arranged apple slices followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce. Then sprinkle mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut evenly across the top for added texture and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the apple nachos right away as a snack or light dessert to ensure the apples remain crisp and toppings fresh.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Add raisins, granola, or crushed pretzels for extra crunch and different flavors.
- Best served fresh to maintain apple crispness and prevent browning.
