I have no clue where I originally saw this idea years ago–but in today’s blogging world, apple nachos have become just about as ubiquitous as raw ballz…
But, there may still be a few folks remaining who aren’t tuned into all the apple nacho hoopla.
If you’ve never tried them, give ‘em a whirl! They are ridiculously easy and taste much more awesome than they sound. Plus, my kids LOVE them as a midday snack. And did I mention how silly easy these are to toss together? Almost as easy as raw ballz. ;)
Obviously this isn’t a recipe–use your imagination and your fave toppings to make THE perfect apple nachos!
I used (to feed 1 1/2 kids and 2 adults):
- 3 crispy and slightly tart apples (we ♥ honeycrisp! yum…)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
For these, I sliced up some apples thin enough so it would be easy to eat the slice in one or two bites. I also lightly spritzed the apples with lemon juice to keep them from browning too fast.
Then I melted some peanut butter–until it was super runny–and drizzled it all over the apples. Next, I topped the apples and peanut butter with unsweetened flaked coconut, sliced almonds, a few pecans and, of course, chocolate chips. And finally, I drizzled a little more peanut butter onto the plate. Ya know, for good measure.
Couldn’t get much easier! Be sure to eat these with your hands, just like real nachos. :)

just made the dish and it was delicious, thank you for the recipe! PS on mine i added a layer of bananas and strawberries. i would recommend chilling it a bit prior to eating. thank you again! look forward to looking through your other recipes.
This was excellent! My boys loved it! My natural pb didn’t get all melty though…hmmm? I used Adams naural crunchy pb!
Lovely! I used organic crunchy pb, didn’t really drizzle so much as dollop, but still v tasty. Also used a cheap, dark chocolate and smashed it up to make chips. I think I would recommend it as it reduces the amount of sugar in the snack. My little one loved it and so did I!
THESE ARE AWESOME, TRY LEAVING OUT THE CHOCOLATE AND DRIZZLE WITH CARAMEL DIPPING SAUCE. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this idea. I know what my next snack will be!
I can’t wait to try this. I’ve never heard of apple nachos before and I think my kids will love it!
