Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 medium-sized apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- Chopped pecans or walnuts (for crunch and flavor)
- Cinnamon or apple pie spice (1-2 teaspoons)
- Mini marshmallows (optional)
- Toffee bits (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional)
- Whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Apple 'Fries': Wash your apples thoroughly, core them, and slice them into fry-like sticks, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Keep the skin on for extra fiber or peel them if preferred. To prevent browning, dip them in water with lemon juice, drain, and pat dry. Arrange the apple 'fries' on a large platter or baking sheet.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler. If too thick, stir in half a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter.
- Drizzle and Layer Your Toppings: Drizzle half of the melted chocolate over the apple fries. If using caramel, drizzle it over the chocolate and sprinkle cinnamon or apple pie spice. Scatter chopped nuts over the platter and add any optional toppings. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over everything.
- Garnish and Serve Immediately: Add any remaining optional toppings like sprinkles or powdered sugar. If serving with whipped cream or ice cream, add those right before serving. Enjoy the Apple Fries Nachos immediately for the best experience!
