Easy Fall Snack – Apple Nachos!

Apples are a staple ingredient for me in the fall, but there are so many to choose from! The best thing about apple recipes is that, most of the time, you can use whatever apples you like. I love Granny Smith and Fuji, but go ahead and use your favorite. 

Although you can use store bought caramel and chocolate sauce, I totally recommend making my homemade versions! They are so good!

Ingredients Needed

  • Apples: Use your favorite kind.
  • Caramel sauce: Checkout my 3 ingredient caramel if you want to make it homemade.
  • Chocolate sauce or you can use hot fudge!
  • Chopped nuts for garnish: Hazelnuts are my favorite! 

Apple Nachos Toppings

  • Any chopped nuts like hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts. 
  • Add peanut butter on top. To make it thinner, put it in the microwave for a few seconds. This would also work with Nutella or Biscoff too.
  • You could crush up any cracker, like graham crackers. 

How to make apple nachos

  • Core and slice apples. Arrange as desired on a serving platter.
  • Drizzle apples with caramel and chocolate sauce.
  • Sprinkle with nuts.
  • Serve immediately. Will last a few hours at room temperature.

Expert Tips

  • Core the apples before slicing to give the best results. 
  • Theme this recipe for any event or holiday for putting the apples in a fun shape, as opposed to just laying them out. 
  • Sprinkles would be a fun way to dress these up too.

FAQs

Can I make apple nachos ahead of time?

No, this recipe needs to be served immediately. They can last a few hours at room temperature before the apples start getting soggy or brown.

  1. Hi Dorothy. I am new to your blog. Absolutely love this idea. I know my daughter will love this.

  2. I was totally that kid that threw away her apples if she didn’t have caramel! I’ve never tried apple nachos, but your version looks delicious! I feel like they’d be an awesome snack to watch football with this fall. Pinned!

  3. How creative and delicious! These would be perfect to serve at a party. Definitely going to try these out, especially since apples are coming back in season, yay!

  4. I was the kid who got whole wheat bread and apples in my lunch box. While everyone else got wonder bread and twinkies. Nobody ever wanted to trade with me. Sure wish I had apple nachos then – would have been the talk of the cafeteria. Love!!

  5. Loving this. Crisp apple with the chocolate hazelnut flavour = amazing idea! And what a great idea for using the coffee creamer in the caramel. I know the creamer is sugar free, but sweetened with sweeteners, but how sweet is the caramel sauce? Perfect for a snack, especially with the fall/ Autumn approaching fast. Pinned!

  6. What a super creative use of the creamer! Love that!! Pinned 🙂

    throwing away her apples at school and telling me she eats them <—- eek!! Nothing more frustrating as a mom than trying to do the right thing and it ends up in the trash, unused, forgotten about, etc. I'll clean out Skylar's lunch box at the end of the day and see the super perfect healthy xyz item I packed her and mentally belabored over how she'd like it etc and see it in the lunchbox that nite and be like WHY didn't you eat that?! I didn't see it mom. Ugh, okay, how is that even possible. Kids 🙂

  7. Love these! I never really liked vegetables when I was growing up either, and now I have to sneak them into my own food. Thankfully, my toddler loves them! So these caramel apple nachos are definitely for me 🙂

  8. Fruity nachos with yummy toppings are so fun and this is PERFECT for Fall. I love that these are caramel and hazelnut. Pinned 🙂

  9. My mom used to put sugar on many things to get us to eat them too; one of my favorites even today is tomatoes, sprinkled with sugar… Weird, I know, but I do eat them plain too. Loving these apple nachos and so much easier than making caramel apples, which I totally stink at!

  10. I love these apple nachos, Dorothy! Such a creative idea. I love how easy this is, and I’m sure your daughter loves the taste, too!
