4.6 from 62 reviews

Caramel Apple Nachos are a delightful no-bake dessert perfect for Thanksgiving or any festive occasion. Crisp apple slices are drizzled with luscious caramel and melted chocolate, then topped with a variety of crunchy and sweet toppings for a fun, shareable treat that’s easy to assemble and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 34 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great)
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced (optional, to prevent browning)

Sauces

  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted

Toppings

  • Your choice of toppings (e.g., chopped peanuts, crushed pretzels, toffee bits, mini M&M’s, whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Wash, core, and slice the apples into thin, even pieces. To keep them from browning, toss the slices gently with the lemon juice, then pat dry using a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Arrange the apples: Lay the apple slices in a single, overlapping layer on a large serving platter, creating a visually appealing base for your toppings.
  3. Drizzle sauces: Generously drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices, then do the same with the melted chocolate, ensuring each slice gets a delicious coating.
  4. Add toppings: Sprinkle your favorite toppings such as chopped peanuts, crushed pretzels, toffee bits, mini M&M’s, or whipped cream over the caramel and chocolate covered apples for added texture and flavor.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy your Caramel Apple Nachos fresh for the best combination of crisp apples and gooey toppings.

Notes

  • To prevent the apples from browning if not serving immediately, toss them with lemon juice and keep them chilled.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference or dietary needs.
  • This recipe is best served fresh as the toppings may get soggy if left for too long.
  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for balanced flavor.
  • The melted chocolate chips can be substituted with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for variation.
