How to Make Apple Nachos
Ingredients
- Apples
- Peanut butter
- Refined coconut oil, or another neutral oil as needed
- Raisins
- Chopped walnuts
- Honey
Step 1: Slice the Apples
Thinly slice the apples and arrange them on a plate.
Step 2: Warm the Peanut Butter
Add the peanut butter to a small microwave-safe dish.
Microwave for 30 seconds, then continue heating in 10-second intervals until it is warm and easy to drizzle.
If needed, mix in a small amount of refined coconut oil to create a smoother consistency.
Step 3: Add the Toppings
Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the apple slices.
Sprinkle with raisins and chopped walnuts, then finish with a drizzle of honey.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
How to Keep Apples From Browning
If you’re not serving the apple nachos right away, toss the sliced apples with a small amount of lemon juice before arranging them on the plate.
This can help slow down browning.
What Kind of Apples Work Best?
I like using Fuji apples because they’re naturally sweet, but you can use any apple variety you enjoy.
Crisp apples work especially well because they hold their shape under the toppings.
