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
- 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.
- 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.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and runny, ready for drizzling.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
