You've not snacked guilt-free until you've had our delicious Apple Nachos Supreme dessert recipe! It's perfect for parties, movie night or a healthy snack for kids. They're so fun to make! The Date Caramel Sauce is the best!
Ingredients
APPLE BASE
Apples. I love Gala. Use however many desired. 1 large apple makes a dinner plate size.
CARAMEL SAUCE
1 cup dates (Medjool are softest but any type will work. If they are hard you can soak for a few minutes first then drain.)
½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon or regular cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
⅓ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp allspice (optional but adds flavor)
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
⅔ cup water + extra depending on how thick/thin you want it.
TOPPING IDEAS
Date Caramel Sauce (This is a main topping!)
Nut butter of choice, warmed for drizzling
Popcorn, fresh popped
Dark chocolate chips
Chopped nuts of choice
Raisins, dried cranberries, dried blue berries etc.
Coconut shreds, unsweetened
Instructions
Make the date caramel sauce first. Its the best caramel replacer ever! The amounts shown make a scant 2 cups which will keep in the refrigerator for couple of weeks at least.
CARAMEL SAUCE
Place the dates, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, allspice, vanilla and water into a blender.
Blend till smooth. I add extra water than shown because it's easier to squeeze out of a squeeze bottle.
Scrape the caramel sauce into a container. You can heat small amounts and drizzle by spoon or you can fill a squeeze bottle with it as shown.
PREPARE APPLES
How many you use, depends on how much you want. 1 large gala apple will fill a normal size dinner plate.Which can feed from 1 to 4 people.
Wash and cut apples into thin ¼" wedges. I keep the skin on but feel free to remove it.
Arrange them on a plate in a spiral.
ASSEMBLE APPLE NACHOS
This is a matter of what toppings you chose and how much of each one you want. This is how I assemble mine:
Drizzle the date caramel sauce over all the apples.
Drizzle warm nut butter if you use that.
Add your toppings as desired. I put on nuts, dried fruit, unsweetened coconut shreds if I have them and dark chocolate chips.
Last I ALWAYS pop up a tiny bit of popcorn in a pan and add that. (not butter or salt)
Feel free to layer them however you like!
