How to Make Delicious Apple Nachos Recipe - The Crafty Blog Stalker (1)

Recently I had a small work event where I was in charge of the treat. There would be about 8-10 people there and I had no idea what to bring. I got the inspiration for my Apple Nachos from Sugary Sweets. All of her toppings are from scratch but I'm all about making it as easy and quickly as possible!

These Apple Nachos are FANTABULOUS! Yes, they are so good I had to make up my own words to describe their deliciousness!

Ingredients:

Slice the apples and arrange them on a platter. I used a pizza tin and it worked perfectly!

Pour the different toppings over the apple slices, and sprinkle with the Skor candy bar pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!

You can really use any of your favorite toppings and candy bars. I bet any way you make it, your friends, family, or in my case, coworkers will love it! They might even call it fantabulous too!

But be warned - you won't be able to stop eating until they are gone!

UPDATE: I have had several questions regarding the preparation so I thought I would address that.

Apples will brown if they sit out for very long. To help remedy the browning soak your sliced apples in a bowl or sink covered with water and some lemon. The amount of lemon depends on the amount of water, but I would suggest a couple of squirts - yes that is a measuring technique. This will let the apples sit for an hour or two without browning - if they last that long!

What is your favorite treat to serve to a group of people?

Our Baking Essential List:

  • For baking casseroles, we use Glass Baking Dishes. I especially like the dishes with lids so leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
  • Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
  • A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
  • This Knife Set will also become your favorite! They cut beautifully, and with the hollow design of the knife, food doesn't stick to the blade.

    I'm going to an outdoor party this weekend... do you think they would last outside? Or maybe if I put a little lemon juice on them?

    Reply

    • Katie Adams

      I have brought them to an outdoor BBQ before and I just soaked the apple slices in water with a couple tablespoons of lemon juice for about 5 minutes before assembly to keep them from browning. But they still didn't last long enough for the apples to brown 🙂 I hope your friends enjoy them!

    How do u keep the apples from not turning brown after u slice them?

    Reply

    • Katie Adams

      You can soak the apple slices in water with lemon juice for about 5 minutes and that will keep them from browning.

      Or you can soak them in any kind of lemon-lime soda and then drain that off to serve. I prefer this method because it doesn't leave them as bitter. Lasts forever!

    I have a few questions I hope someone can answer... 1. Salted or unsalted butter? 2. How long can you set aside the melted marshmallows? It seems to me it would harden? 3. How far in advance should it be ok to make these? 2-3 hrs before a party?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Reply

    • Katie Adams

      Either butter is fine and I have even used margarine before as well and that has worked.
      The melted marshmallows will harden as they are left out. I have put my extra in the fridge and then microwave them to get them soft again.
      As long as you soak the apples in lemon juice for awhile before the party a couple hours before hand would be fine.
      I hope that helps! Thanks for the great questions!

Start by spreading a single layer of chips on a baking sheet. Next, add a thin layer of refried beans or black beans to help create a barrier between the chips and the wetter toppings.
