Description

Caramel Apple Nachos are a delightful, fun-to-eat snack that features crisp apple slices drizzled with sweet caramel and white chocolate, then topped with a colorful assortment of chocolate chips, toffee bits, peanuts, mini M&Ms, and sprinkles. This recipe is a perfect twist on the classic caramel apple, offering a deconstructed, shareable treat that’s ideal for celebrating apple season or satisfying sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 apple
  • 1 apple
  • 1/2 lemon

Sauces and Chocolates

  • 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 the apples and prevent browning: Cut the apples into slices and place them into a medium bowl. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the slices and gently toss them to coat, which prevents the apples from turning brown.
  2. Arrange apple slices on a plate: Neatly arrange the lemon-coated apple slices on a serving plate in an overlapping or circular pattern to create a base for the toppings.
  3. Drizzle caramel and white chocolate: Warm the caramel sauce and white chocolate chips to a drizzleable consistency, then drizzle them evenly over the arranged apple slices to add rich sweetness and flavor.
  4. Add toppings: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips, Heath toffee bits, salted peanuts, mini M&Ms, and colorful sprinkles over the drizzled apples for texture, flavor diversity, and visual appeal.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy the caramel apple nachos fresh for optimal taste and texture. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to two days, though be aware the apples may brown and toppings may soften over time.

Notes

  • Caramel apple nachos offer a festive and fun way to enjoy apple season, especially loved by kids.
  • This deconstructed caramel apple eliminates the messiness of a traditional caramel apple by turning it into bite-sized, shareable pieces.
  • Use fresh, crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Fuji for the best texture and flavor contrast with the sweet toppings.
  • To vary the toppings, feel free to add nuts, different types of candy, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet-salty combination.
  • Best served immediately to enjoy the crispness of the apples and the texture of the toppings.
