Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 apples, sliced
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the apples to ensure they are clean and free from any moisture.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the apples into thin, triangular chip-like wedges, removing the core and seeds in the process. Aim for consistent slice thickness to ensure even presentation.
- Arrange the apple slices in a fan-like pattern on a large serving platter or plate, overlapping them slightly to create a nacho-like appearance.
- Warm the almond butter slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to achieve a more drizzling consistency. If too thick, add a small amount of plant-based milk to thin it out.
- Using a spoon or squeeze bottle, drizzle the warm almond butter generously over the apple slices, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly across the apple nachos, allowing them to melt slightly from the warmth of the almond butter.
- Distribute the granola over the apple slices to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
- Finish by scattering the shredded coconut over the top, creating a visually appealing and textural final layer.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture of the dessert nachos.
Tips
- Apple Selection Matters: Choose firm, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor.
- Slice Technique: Use a sharp knife and cut apples on a slight angle to create those perfect nacho-like triangles. Keep slices uniform for even presentation.
- Prevent Browning: If preparing in advance, toss apple slices with a little lemon juice to keep them fresh and prevent oxidation.
- Almond Butter Hack: Warm the almond butter gently to create a smooth drizzle. If it's too thick, add a splash of plant-based milk to thin it out.
- Serve Immediately: These nachos are best enjoyed right after preparation to maintain the perfect balance of crisp apples and melty toppings.
- Customize Your Nachos: Feel free to experiment with different toppings like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
