Apple nachos drizzled with caramel, chocolate and sweet chocolate chips are a fun way to get kids to eat their fruit. This recipe can be made with pears or peaches too.

An apple nachos snack is one of the kids favorite, alongside frozen banana bites and nutella-stuffed croissants. If you love apple-inspired treats, these delicious apple muffins, apple stuffed baked pears and apple raisin bread should be on your baking rotation.

While perfect for using up those crispy fall apples you picked at the orchard, apples nachos are delicious made anytime of the year. It's a fun after school snack for the kids and they'll have fun not just eating it, but making it too.

Ingredients

You need just a few easy ingredients:

  • Apples: red, green, yellow, whatever are your favorites!
  • Caramel syrup
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Chocolate chips: milk, dark, or white chocolate.

Variations

For an even more wholesome or hearty treat add:

  • Peanut butter
  • Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds
  • Crunchy granola
  • Dried cranberries
  • Raisins
  • Coconut shavings

Instructions

Apple nachos are so easy to make- there is no cooking at all, just slicing up the fruit! It takes just 5 minutes to put together.

  1. Slice the apples and arrange them on a plate. My rule of thumb is 1 apple per child.
  2. Drizzle the apples with caramel and chocolate syrup. Top with the chocolate chips. If you're using jarred sauce that's thicker than the squeeze bottle kind, warm it up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. 

Apple nachos are best served immediately. But my kids' didn't eat them all the first day, so we put them in the fridge. The next day they were still quite delicious! The apples had softened, but hadn't browned yet.

Recipe FAQs

Are Apple Nachos Healthy?

Yes! This apple nachos recipe is relatively healthy. The more chocolate, caramel and chocolate chips you use, the less healthy it will be. Adding nuts and dried fruit will increase the calorie count but also increase the nutritional profile of the recipe.

How Do I Keep The Apples From Turning Brown?

To keep the sliced apples from browning, give them a light spritz with a citrus liquid, like lemon juice. You can also soak them in lime juice, lemon juice, or pineapple just for 10 minutes immediately after slicing. Then pat dry and create your plate of nachos.
