It’s an apple-picking, no-stick-sticking, finger-licking kind of recipe. These Caramel Apple Nachos will have you devouring every bite.
How many times have you eaten a caramel apple on a stick but stopped after all the toppings are gone? That won’t happen with these apple nachos. Each slice of apple is covered with toppings galore and will have you eating to the core that is no more.
Since it’s apple-picking season in Arkansas and caramel apples are a fall staple, this is the yummiest way to eat freshly-picked apples. Y’all are going to love this fun and easy recipe. It’s also the perfect way to get the kids involved and takes no more than 20 minutes to prepare.
Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips
- These caramel apple nachos are so easy that you can make them right before serving. If you make it too far in advance, the juice from the apples will water down the caramel sauce.
- I used an apple cutter to get 8 even pieces, and it completely removes the core. All you are left with is apple slices.
- Instead of unwrapping caramels, use Kraft caramel bits. It is such a time saver, and they melt like butter in the microwave. You can find them where the chocolate chips are found in the grocery store.
- You can also find crushed Heath Bars with chocolate chips, so save yourself the time of smashing a candy bar.
- Take your time melting the white chocolate chips. Don’t rush it. Use 30-second intervals, then stir. If the white chocolate binds up, add a tiny bit of vegetable oil to help smooth it out.
- Toss the apple slices in a little lemon juice to keep them from turning brown before decorating.
