Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 4 apples, thinly sliced
- Lemon juice (to keep apples from browning, about 1 tablespoon)
Sauces
- ½ cup caramel sauce (warmed)
- ½ cup chocolate sauce (warmed)
Toppings
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup crushed pretzels
Instructions
- Prep apples: Toss the thinly sliced apples lightly in lemon juice to prevent browning. Arrange the apple slices evenly on a large platter, mimicking the layout of nacho chips for a visually appealing base.
- Drizzle sauces: Warm the caramel and chocolate sauces gently until pourable. Then, pour each sauce over the apples in thin, even streams to generously cover the slices without drenching them.
- Top with mix-ins: Sprinkle the crushed pretzels and mini marshmallows evenly over the sauced apples, adding a mix of salty crunch and sweet fluff to the dish.
- Serve immediately: For the best texture and taste, serve the caramel apple nachos immediately to enjoy maximum crunch and freshness.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Warming the sauces slightly helps them drizzle smoothly but avoid overheating.
- Serve right away to prevent the apples from turning soft and marshmallows from melting.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts or drizzle with white chocolate for extra flavor.
