Ingredient Notes

• Apples – Use firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Soft apples turn mushy.

• Caramel sauce – Store-bought works, but homemade tastes richer. Warm it slightly for easy drizzling.

• Chocolate chips – Mini chips spread better, but regular work too. Dark chocolate balances the sweetness.

• Nuts – Toasted pecans or peanuts add crunch. Skip them if allergies are a concern.

• Sea salt – A pinch enhances all flavors. Don’t skip it!

Quick Tips

For the best nachos, serve them right away—apples brown over time.

If prepping ahead, toss apple slices in lemon juice to keep them fresh.

Swap toppings with shredded coconut, crushed pretzels, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Store leftovers (if any) in the fridge, but good luck with that. These disappear fast!
