Apple Nachos

I don't know who came up with this idea.

But thank you.

Apple slices + Caramel + Peanut Butter + Chocolate + Coconut + Marshmallows + Nuts = Heaven.

If you're wondering what my inspiration was for this, I will tell you that it is a treat that is a whole season of temperamental weather away.  Candy apples are one of my favorites, despite how much my teeth hate me afterward.

Every fall, I dive headfirst into harvest festivities.  Apple picking, meandering through the in-progress pumpkin patches, amateur nature photography, the whole shootin' match.

One of my favorite things to do is visit a local business that makes custom candy apples with a crazy amount of different toppings.  So, when I went to make apple nachos, I applied the same creativity and threw all my favorites onto the plate.

Trust me, this is how you get away with candy apples in June.




Apple Nachos

3 apples, cut in 1/4" slices
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp peanut butter, warmed
2 tbsp caramel sauce
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup mini marshmallows


Toss the apple slices in the lemon juice to coat.

Lay the apples out on a large plate, and drizzle with peanut butter and caramel.  Sprinkle almonds, chocolate chips, coconut and marshmallows over the top.
