Ingredients
Fruits
- 3 large apples, sliced thin
Sauces and Drizzles
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
- 2 tbsp melted chocolate or chocolate chips
Toppings
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)
- Mini marshmallows, coconut flakes, or crushed pretzels for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Thinly slice 3 large apples and arrange them evenly on a large plate or platter to form the base of your caramel apple nachos.
- Add caramel and chocolate: Drizzle ¼ cup of caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices. Then, melt 2 tablespoons of chocolate or chocolate chips and drizzle them over the apples and caramel for a rich, decadent flavor.
- Sprinkle toppings: Finish by sprinkling your choice of 2 tablespoons chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, coconut flakes, or crushed pretzels over the apple and drizzle layers to add texture and variety.
- Serve immediately: To enjoy the best texture and freshness, serve the caramel apple nachos right away before the apples start to brown or toppings soften.
Notes
- Toss apple slices in lemon juice immediately after slicing to prevent browning and preserve color.
- For a healthier alternative, swap caramel sauce with almond butter or peanut butter.
- Choose toppings carefully if needing gluten-free options; pretzels may contain gluten.
- Use a variety of apples such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith to balance sweetness and tartness.
