INGREDIENTS:

• 2-3 medium apples (crisp and slightly tart varieties like Granny Smith work well)
• 1/4 cup nut butter (such as almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
• 1/4 cup dried fruits (such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
• 1/4 cup granola
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:
Slice Apples:
Wash, core, and thinly slice the apples into rounds. You can leave the skin on for added color and nutrition.

Prepare Nut Butter Drizzle:
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the nut butter and honey (or maple syrup) together for a few seconds until slightly softened. Stir well to combine into a smooth drizzling consistency. If needed, you can heat it in short intervals, stirring in between.

Arrange Apple Slices:
Arrange the apple slices on a serving platter or large plate, slightly overlapping them to resemble nacho chips.

Drizzle Nut Butter:
Drizzle the prepared nut butter mixture over the apple slices in a zigzag pattern.

Add Toppings:
Sprinkle the chopped nuts, dried fruits, shredded coconut, dark chocolate chips, and granola over the apple slices.

Sprinkle Cinnamon:
Evenly sprinkle ground cinnamon over the entire arrangement. Cinnamon adds warmth and enhances the flavors.

Customize Toppings:
Feel free to get creative with your toppings. You can use chopped fresh berries, sliced bananas, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, or even a sprinkle of sea salt.

Serve:
Serve the apple nachos immediately as a delicious and visually appealing treat.
