Ingredients
  

3 medium-sized apples (choose Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness), thinly sliced

1 cup of your favorite granola blend (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup of caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons of coconut oil (or milk for added creaminess)

1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup of chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts, optional)

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Begin by thoroughly washing the apples. Slice them into thin wedges for even distribution. To prevent browning, you may soak the slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Melt the Peanut Butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter with the coconut oil. Microwave the combination for 20-30 seconds, then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more coconut oil or a splash of milk, and stir again until well blended.

      Arrange the Apples: On a large serving platter or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay the apple wedges to form a beautiful base. Overlap the apple slices slightly to create an inviting display.

        Sprinkle the Granola: Distribute the granola evenly over the arranged apple slices. This will add a delightful crunch, contrasting with the soft apple texture.

          Drizzle with Caramel: If you are using store-bought caramel sauce, warm it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Generously drizzle the warm caramel over the apple and granola layers, ensuring each piece is coated in its sweet goodness.

            Add the Peanut Butter Drizzle: If necessary, reheat the melted peanut butter mixture for a few seconds. Use a spoon or a squeeze bottle to create a zigzag pattern over the entire nacho plate, allowing the peanut flavor to infuse every bite.

              Garnish: Top off your creation by scattering mini chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts across the nachos. For an elevated touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the entire platter, enhancing the flavors.

                Serve: For an indulgent treat, serve the nachos with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside.

                  Enjoy: Dive into this delightful dish with a fork or, for a more casual experience, with your hands! Relish this fun and scrumptious dessert nacho plate while it’s fresh and warm.
