Ingredients

FOR THE APPLE NACHOS:

  • 2-3 Apples I like using different colors
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter or your favorite nut/seed butter
  • 1-1 1/2 Tablespoons Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips mine are allergy-friendly
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Your favorite toppings see list below for ideas

TOPPING IDEAS:

  • shredded coconut
  • mini chocolate chips
  • chopped nuts
  • sunflower seeds
  • granola
  • sprinkles
  • cinnamon or cinnamon-sugar
  • raisins
  • toffee bits
  • caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Slice. Thinly slice apples and discard cores. Arrange apple slices on a plate, trying not to overlap too much (that way the toppings touch all the apples!)
  • Make Chocolate Shell. In a small microwave-safe bowl, gently melt together chocolate chips + coconut oil, pausing every 15-20 seconds to stir, until the chocolate is smooth + glossy. (You can also do this in a pan on the stove if you prefer) Drizzle melted chocolate over the apples.
  • Drizzle apple slices with peanut butter and chocolate shell.
  • Sprinkle with your favorite toppings & enjoy!

Notes

TRY MAKING MINI PLATES + DO A TASTE TEST WITH YOUR KIDS. You can make one big plate, or you can make a few mini plates and let everyone do a taste test to see which flavor they like best! Bonus points if you name your creation! A few of our faves...
