Ingredients

  • 2 apples (any kind)
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut butter or almond butter are great)
  • 2 tbsp semi-sweet dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped raw walnuts
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped raw pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. Thinly slice apples and spread throughout the center of prepped baking sheet pan. Sprinkle cinnamon over apple slices and drizzle with maple syrup. Toss making sure apple slices are well coated with cinnamon and maple syrup.

  3. Drizzle nut butter over apple slices. Sprinkle chocolate chips, walnuts and pecans over apples. Place apple nachos in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.

  4. Remove apple nachos from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Tips and Substitutions:

    1. Use combination of sweet and tart apples- I like using a sweet apple and a tart one. The contrast of tastes mixed with the flavors from the toppings take these apple nachos to a whole other level.
    2. Drizzle apple slices with fresh lime or lemon juice- This will prevent the apples from browning after being cut. This will allow you to store the apple nachos if you have leftovers.
    3. Switch up your nuts- Nuts add some crunch to the apple nachos. I like using walnuts and pecans but you can use any kind of nuts. Almond, cashews, peanuts and pistachios are all great.
    4. Use unsalted nut butters- Salted nut butters will overpower the rest of the flavors of the apple nachos.
    5. Make it nut-free- Use sunflower butter or tahini as a substitute for nut butters. Use seeds such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds or hemp hearts instead of nuts for nut-free apple nachos.
