Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples, sliced
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter), warmed
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 2 tablespoons granola (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice Apples: Wash and core the apples, then slice them into thin, even rounds. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a serving plate to create a visually appealing base.
  2. Warm Nut Butter: Slightly warm the nut butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 15-20 seconds or until it becomes easier to drizzle. Stir well to achieve a smooth consistency.
  3. Drizzle Nut Butter: Using a spoon, drizzle the warmed nut butter evenly over the arranged apple slices, covering them lightly for a creamy flavor contrast.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and optional granola evenly over the nut butter-covered apple slices to add texture and bursts of flavor.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the apple nachos immediately to enjoy the fresh crispness of the apples combined with the rich toppings. Best consumed fresh for optimal taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use any variety of apples you prefer; tart apples like Granny Smith or sweeter ones like Fuji work well.
  • Warm the nut butter just enough to drizzle easily but avoid overheating to preserve its flavor.
  • Granola is optional and can be omitted for a gluten-free version or substituted with chopped nuts.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and nut butter without additives.
  • Store leftover components separately; apples can brown if prepped too early.
