Caramel Apple Nachos
If you’re looking for a simple yet, delicious fall treat look no further! Caramel apple nachos always seem to be a crowd pleaser and can be customized to your liking. I’m including the steps and basic recipe below. I’d love to hear what you’d top you “apple nachos” with. If you don’t mind a little mess, this is a really fun recipe to make with kids! I just made these with my kids on our YouTube channel. We had a lot of fun; click this link if you’d like to check it out. https://youtu.be/q4qHz_LiwRE
Ingredients
4-5 large apples (Honeycrisp are my favorite!)
Marshmallows - Approx. 8-10 large ones
Caramel syrup
2 tablespoons butter
mini chocolate chips
Oreo cookies
mixed nuts - chopped
multi-colored sprinkles
1.) Slice your apples into wedges. Slightly thicker works well to support all of the toppings you’ll be adding later! This way, you’ll still get a nice crunch when you bite in!
2.) Make your marshmallow drizzle. You can do this stovetop or in the microwave. Just heat your marshmallows and butter and stir together until a gooey mixture forms. If you’re using the microwave do this in 10 second increments and stir in between until you get the perfect consistency. If you’re making this with kids, parents will want to do this step as the mixture needs to be drizzled over the apples while it is still quite warm. If you don’t work quickly enough the mixture will thicken and won’t work as well.
3.) Now it’s time to drizzle that caramel syrup!
4.) You are ready to add your crunchy toppings. Here’s where you can get creative; follow along with the toppings we used or pick your own. First, we added chopped mixed nuts to the marshmallow caramel mixture. At this point you’ve got more of a traditional caramel apple with nuts.
5.) Next, we topped with mini chocolate chips.
6.) Take your Oreo cookies and crush them up in a plastic bag. Now you can use these crushed cookies as your next topping!
7.) Now your ready for your sprinkles! I think this is my favorite step because the added colors makes these look so pretty and fun!
8.) Now for the fun, it’s time to enjoy your yummy caramel apple nachos! Don’t forget to let me know what you’d add to yours!
