💭 Helpful Tips
Here are a few tips for making this recipe even easier!
What kind of apples work best for apple nachos? I recommend a sweeter apple like Gala, Fuji or Honeycrisp. It also helps to have a slightly firmer apple that will hold the toppings.
What makes this a healthy recipe? Rather than using caramel, these apple nachos are topped with peanut butter or nut butter of your choice. They also use dairy free mini chocolate chips.
How do I store these? Generally my family eats the entire plate in one sitting. However, if we have some left, they actually keep pretty well for a day in the fridge in an airtight container. To deter the apples from browning try mixing them with a bit of lemon juice prior to assembling if you know you won’t be using them all.
