If you’re looking for a fun, easy, and healthier snack idea, caramel apple nachos are the perfect treat!
Ingredients You’ll Need
• Organic red and/or green apples
The crispness of apples is key here. Red apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp bring natural sweetness, while green apples like Granny Smith offer a tangy contrast. Use one or mix both for variety!
• Caramel
I love using Hum Yum caramel
• Almond butter, cashew butter, or Nutzo
For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle your favorite nut butter over the apples. It pairs beautifully with the caramel and gives the nachos a protein-packed twist.
• Mini chocolate chips
These add a little indulgence and texture to the dish. Opt for dairy-free or dark chocolate chips if you’re looking for a healthier option.
• Crushed nuts
Add your favorite crushed nuts for a bit of crunch! Almonds, cashews, or pecans work great, and they complement the nut butter drizzle perfectly.
How to Make Caramel Apple Nachos
1. Slice the Apples
Start by washing and slicing your apples into thin wedges. Arrange them on a large platter or plate in a single layer, overlapping slightly for a fuller look.
2. Drizzle the Caramel and Nut Butter
Warm the caramel slightly for easier drizzling. Use a spoon to drizzle the caramel over the apple slices. Repeat with your choice of almond butter, cashew butter, or Nutzo for a creamy, nutty addition.
3. Top with Chocolate Chips and Crushed Nuts
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the apples. Then, finish with a generous sprinkle of crushed nuts for a crunchy topping.
4. Serve Immediately
Serve your caramel apple nachos right away to keep the apples fresh and the toppings at their best.
