Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples, sliced
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, ensuring they are clean and free from any dirt or wax coating.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the apples into thin, uniform wedges, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on a large serving platter or plate, slightly overlapping them to create a nacho-like presentation.
- Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more drizzle-friendly. Use a spoon or squeeze bottle to drizzle the warm peanut butter evenly over the apple slices.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning. Once smooth, drizzle the melted chocolate over the apple slices in a zigzag pattern.
- Gently warm the caramel sauce to make it more fluid. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apples, creating a decorative pattern that complements the chocolate and peanut butter.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly across the apple nachos, ensuring good coverage for added crunch and texture.
- Add Halloween-themed or colorful sprinkles over the top for a festive and fun appearance.
- Serve immediately to prevent the apples from browning and to enjoy the dessert while the toppings are still warm and gooey.
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: Opt for crisp varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith that won't brown quickly and provide a perfect crunch.
- Prevent Browning: After slicing, you can briefly soak apple slices in a mixture of lemon juice and water to keep them fresh and white.
- Drizzling Technique: Use a squeeze bottle or a spoon with a narrow tip for more precise and decorative drizzling of peanut butter and chocolate.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: Melt chocolate chips in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Temperature Matters: Serve immediately after decorating to enjoy the warm, gooey toppings and prevent the apples from getting soggy.
- Kid-Friendly Option: Let children help decorate with sprinkles for a fun family activity.
- Halloween Customization: Use orange and black sprinkles or Halloween-themed candy decorations to enhance the spooky theme.
