Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 large Granny Smith apples
Sauces and Condiments
- 1 cup caramel sauce (prepared from caramel squares)
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Mini M&M candies, for topping (quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare Caramel Sauce: Follow the package instructions for the caramel squares to prepare 1 cup of caramel sauce, ensuring it is smooth and ready for drizzling.
- Prepare Apples: Wash, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin, bite-sized pieces. Brush the apple slices lightly with the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning, then pat dry with a paper towel.
- Arrange Apples: Neatly arrange the apple slices on a serving platter in a single layer to create the base for the nachos.
- Drizzle Caramel: Pour the prepared caramel sauce evenly over the arranged apple slices, covering them generously but not too thickly to keep the balance of flavors.
- Add Toppings: Scatter mini M&M candies over the caramel-drizzled apples. Optionally, add other toppings of your choice such as chopped nuts or whipped cream for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use lemon juice to keep apple slices from browning and maintain freshness.
- For a healthier option, choose a low-sugar caramel sauce or homemade caramel with less sugar.
- Try different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji for varied sweetness levels.
- Additional toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips work well with caramel apple nachos.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain crispness of apple slices and texture contrast.
