How to make apple nachos

Making apple nachos (do you call it apple snack?) can’t be easier than this.

The recipe starts with apples. A combination of Granny smith, Red Gala and Fuji apples. The reason to use mix of apples is each has it’s own texture and taste and you’ll enjoy the variation when you bite through.

Slice up apples. Use mandolin slicer or the 8 piece apple corer.

Take each piece and cut into 2 or 3 slices depending on how thick or thin you like your apple nachos to be.

Squeeze lemon juice over apple slices to prevent it from browning. Do not add too much of it, the apples will have predominant sour taste.

Arrange apple slices on a plate overlapping each other.

In two separate bowls melt dark choco chip with ½ teaspoon coconut oil and peanut butter with honey in microwave. Start with 15 seconds interval. Take out the bowl mix well with spoon and pop back into microwave until melted completely.

Drizzle as much to your hearts content peanut butter and chocolate melt over apple slices.

Sprinkle choco chips and any other toppings like desiccated coconut, seeds and nut of your choice.

Serve immediately.

Drizzle as much as peanut butter and chocolate as you like. 

Make apple nachos just before you want to serve. Apples will loose lovely crisp and turn soft and almost soggy if you leave them to sit for longer.
