What’s in This Apple Nachos Recipe?
- Apples: Use your favorite apples! The apples are the star of the show, so you want to use apples your family loves. I like to do a 50-50 mix of red and green apples. Granny Smith is my favorite green apple, and Gala is my favorite red.
- Chocolate Syrup: Adds rich chocolatey flavor to the apples.
- Caramel Sauce: Adds sweetness and warmth to the apples.
- Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter adds rich nutty flavor to the apples.
- Chocolate Chips: I like semisweet or milk chocolate chips, but any kind will work to add a little crunch.

How to Store
While apple nachos are best enjoyed on the day they are made, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. If you follow the additional tips below for preventing browning, you may be able to store the nachos for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing apple nachos.

- Quickly dipping the apples in a bowl of water mixed with a spoonful of honey before topping.
