Ingredients
- 2 apples - (pink ladies, granny smith, honey crisp, fuji, or any other type)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter - (or any other nut butter)
- 1 tbsp chocolate nibs - (or chocolate chips)
- 1 tbs chopped hazelnuts - (or walnuts, peanuts, almonds, etc.)
- The juice of half a lemon - optional
- A sprinkle of cinnamon - optional
Instructions
- Wash the apples. Cut them into quarters and remove the core. Then slice them into thin slices. Squeeze half a lemon on a plate and coat the apple slices. This will keep them from browning. Skip this step if you will eat the apple nachos straight away.
- Layer the apples in a nice circle on a plate.
- Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. This will make it more spreadable and easy to drizzle on the apples. If you don't have a microwave, simply place the peanut butter in a heatproof bowl and set the bowl over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie), stirring occasionally, until warm.
- Drizzle the peanut butter on top of the apples, sprinkle with cinnamon, chocolate nibs, and chopped nuts. Enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: I used peanut butter, but almond butter or any other nut butter is a great alternative. And if you want to make your apple nachos extra decadent, try drizzling them with homemade Nutella.
Note 2: If you don't have cholate nibs, you can use chocolate chips.
How To Store: You can store apple nachos in the fridge in a glass container like this for 2-3 days. Just make sure to coat the apples with a good amount of lemon juice.
