Why You Will Love This Recipe for Apple Nachos
You don’t have to wait until Fall to eat apples this way! Apple “nachos” are a great way to keep your blood sugar levels low with the help of some melted peanut butter on top of them.
Peanut butter is a healthy fat and also includes some protein in it. Peanut butter is not the greatest source of protein but 2 tablespoons contain 8 grams.
The dieticians I follow all say that eating a carb with protein and fat will help with that so everytime I eat an apple or a banana I will have peanut butter with it. It’s so good!
What Ingredients do I need for Apple Nachos?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for.
- Apples - use green or red
- Dark, Semi Sweet, Chocolate Chips, or Sugar free chocolate chips if you're on a specific diet
- Peanut Butter - my favorite is the Kirland, can also sub PB2 (Which is a powdered protein powder)
- Toppings for Apple Nachos - Granola, Crushed Oreos, Chopped nuts, different colored sprinkles, or your favorite crushed up candy bar. Reese’s peanut butter cups would be awesome.
- Walnuts - or any type of crushed up nuts
- Coconut Flakes
Chopped bacon for something savory!
Caramel Sauce if you don't like peanut butter
How to make Apple Nachos
Step 1 Thinly slice the apples into rings with a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. On a slicer with 3 thickness settings, use the thickest.
Step 2 In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter in 10-15 second intervals on the microwave’s lowest setting, being careful not to burn the chips. Stir in between intervals until melted (overheating peanut butter will result in a lumpy and gritty texture).
Step 3 Drizzle the peanut butter with a spoon over the apple slices.
Step 4 Garnish with mini chocolate chips (optional)
Recipe Tips
- If using PB2 Powder mix 2 tablespoons of powder together in a bowl and gradually mix in the water to your desired consistency. Start off with 2 tablespoons of water. May or may not need to add more
- If you want to add any extra toppings sprinkle them over the nachos.
