Apple nachos are a delicious dessert made of thinly-sliced apples topped with caramel, chocolate sauce, peanut butter sauce, and chocolate chips.
I like to do a 50-50 mix of red and green apples. Granny Smith are my favorite green apples, and Gala are my favorite red.
You sure can. Microwave the peanut butter in 30-second increments until melted, stirring in a bit of coconut oil if needed to help thin it out.
These apple nachos are endlessly customizable. You can really top them with any dessert sauce you like and any kind of chocolate chips. Try adding nuts or coconut flakes!
If you want the best flavor for your Apple Nachos, consider making Homemade Caramel Sauce! It’s super easy to make and always yields the most scrumptious results. With that being said, store bought also works if you’re looking to save a little time.
Whether you’re watching the big game with friends or hosting a costume party for Halloween, you should have a platter of these Caramel Apple Nachos on your counter! No matter what the occasion is, everyone from the kids to grandparents will enjoy grabbing a bite (or two, or three) of these sweet apple slices.
Storage Instructions
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.

How to Keep Apples from Browning
If you’re not planning on enjoying your apple nachos right away, there are a few things you can do to keep them from going brown. In this recipe, we call for soaking the cut apple slices in cold water. Some other methods include:
- Soaking the apples in salty water (add ⅛ teaspoon of salt per cup), then rinsing and draining.
- Brushing the cut apple slices with lemon juice before topping.
- Quickly dipping the apples in a bowl of water mixed with a spoonful of honey before topping.
Try to get a little of each drizzle onto every single apple slice. That way, your Apple Nachos make a perfect bite every single time! The combination of chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce and creamy peanut butter all on top of a fresh apple slice is true autumnal bliss.
