Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 apple
- 1 apple
- 1/2 lemon
Sweet Toppings
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heath toffee bits
- 2 tablespoons mini M&Ms
- 2 teaspoons sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons salted peanuts
Nuts
Instructions
- Slice the apples: Cut the apples into thin slices and place them in a medium bowl. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the apple slices and toss gently to coat. This lemon juice prevents the apples from browning and keeps them fresh looking.
- Arrange the apple slices: Lay the apple slices flat on a serving plate in an even layer, creating the base for your caramel apple nachos.
- Drizzle caramel and chocolate: Warm the caramel sauce until pourable and drizzle it evenly over the arranged apple slices. Melt the white chocolate chips gently, then drizzle the melted white chocolate over the apples as well.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, Heath toffee bits, chopped salted peanuts, mini M&Ms, and colorful sprinkles generously over the caramel and chocolate-coated apple slices to add texture, flavor, and color.
- Serve immediately: These caramel apple nachos are best enjoyed right away to retain the crunch of the apples and the textures of the toppings. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to two days, though note the apples may brown and toppings soften.
Notes
- This recipe is a fun and easy way to enjoy the flavors of a caramel apple in a shareable snack form.
- Make sure to toss apple slices in lemon juice right after cutting to prevent browning.
- Customize your toppings based on your favorite candies and nuts for variety.
- Best served fresh; leftovers can be refrigerated but won’t maintain the same crispness.
- A delightful way to celebrate apple season with kids and adults alike!
