Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 3 large apples, thinly sliced
Sauces and Toppings
- 1/4 cup peanut butter, melted
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, warmed
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mini marshmallows (optional)
- Cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash, core, and thinly slice the apples to create uniform, bite-sized pieces suitable for easy dipping and layering on the platter.
- Arrange on Platter: Lay the apple slices out in a single layer on a large serving platter to form the base of the apple nachos.
- Drizzle Sauces: Evenly drizzle the melted peanut butter, warmed caramel sauce, and melted chocolate chips over the arranged apple slices for a rich and flavorful coating.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and mini marshmallows over the sauced apples for added texture and taste.
- Finish and Serve: Lightly dust the entire platter with cinnamon for a warm spice note, then serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp apples with the gooey toppings.
Notes
- Use a mix of apple varieties like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith for varied color and flavor complexity.
- For a nut-free alternative, omit the nuts and substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Serve immediately to prevent apple slices from browning; alternatively, lightly coat the slices with lemon juice before assembling.
