Description
A quick and playful snack made with crisp apple slices topped with creamy nut butter, sweet caramel drizzle, chocolate chips, granola, and crunchy toppings.
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup granola
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, or pecans
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate candies or chocolate chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and slice the apples into thin wedges or rounds.
- If desired, toss the apple slices lightly with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Arrange the apple slices on a large serving plate or platter, spreading them out like nachos.
- Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for about 10 to 15 seconds so it becomes easy to drizzle.
- Drizzle the peanut butter evenly over the apple slices.
- Drizzle caramel sauce across the apples.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips, granola, and chopped nuts evenly over the top.
- Add shredded coconut and mini chocolate candies if using.
- Serve immediately while the apples are fresh and crisp.
Notes
- Crisp apples such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith work best for this recipe.
- Toss apple slices with a little lemon juice to slow browning.
- Peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, cookie butter, or melted chocolate.
- Dried fruits like raisins or cranberries make great additional toppings.
- Yogurt or honey drizzle can be used for a lighter version.
- Apple nachos are best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
