Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 3 apples (Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced
- A squeeze of lemon juice (to prevent browning)
Drizzles
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips or chocolate drizzle
- 1 tbsp honey or caramel sauce (optional)
Toppings
- 2 tbsp granola or chopped nuts (like almonds, peanuts, or walnuts)
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tbsp mini marshmallows or raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Wash and core the apples, then thinly slice them into wedges. Toss the slices with a little lemon juice to prevent browning and keep them fresh-looking.
- Arrange Apple Slices: Lay the apple slices on a large plate or platter in a circular or layered pattern for an appealing presentation.
- Warm Peanut Butter: Heat the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to soften it, making it easier to drizzle over the apples.
- Drizzle Toppings: Drizzle the warmed peanut butter and melted chocolate evenly over the apple slices to add richness and flavor.
- Add Crunchy Toppings: Sprinkle granola, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and any additional toppings of your choice over the apples to add texture and enhance taste.
- Optional Sweet Drizzle: If using, drizzle honey or caramel sauce over the pile to add extra sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the apple nachos right away to experience the perfect balance of crisp apples and creamy, crunchy toppings at their best.
Notes
- Use different varieties of apples to vary the sweetness and tartness according to preference.
- Substitute nut butters based on dietary restrictions or taste preferences, such as almond butter for peanut butter.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate and avoid marshmallows unless they are vegan-friendly.
- Serve immediately to prevent the apple slices from browning and the toppings from becoming soggy.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger groups or parties.
