Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 apple
  • 1 apple
  • 1/2 lemon

Sauces

  • 1/3 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons Heath toffee bits
  • 2 tablespoons salted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons mini M&Ms
  • 2 teaspoons sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Slice Apples and Prevent Browning: Cut the apples into thin slices, adding them to a medium bowl as you slice. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the apple slices to prevent them from turning brown and toss gently to coat all slices.
  2. Arrange Apple Slices: Lay out the apple slices evenly on a serving plate, spreading them in a way that resembles nachos to create a base for toppings.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and runny, ready for drizzling.
  4. Drizzle Sauces: Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices. Then drizzle the melted white chocolate over the caramel-covered apples for a sweet, creamy contrast.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, Heath toffee bits, salted peanuts, mini M&Ms, and colorful sprinkles generously over the drizzled apples, creating a variety of textures and flavors.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve the caramel apple nachos right away to enjoy the crisp texture of the apples and crunchy toppings. Leftovers should be refrigerated and eaten within a day or two, though apples may brown and toppings soften.

Notes

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apple varieties for the best flavor balance.
  • Squeeze lemon juice on the apple slices immediately after cutting to prevent browning.
  • Melt the white chocolate slowly to avoid burning and maintain smooth consistency.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, dried fruit, or candy of your choice.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, as apple slices may brown and toppings soften when stored.
