These Apple Nachos are one of the easiest fall recipes out there. They are perfect for using up any leftover apples from apple picking. If you ever need a simple ready to go snack–this is for you!
Easy Fall Snack – Apple Nachos!
Apples are a staple ingredient for me in the fall, but there are so many to choose from! The best thing about apple recipes is that, most of the time, you can use whatever apples you like. I love Granny Smith and Fuji, but go ahead and use your favorite. Although you can use store bought caramel and chocolate sauce, I totally recommend making my homemade versions! They are so good!
Ingredients Needed
- Apples: Use your favorite kind.
- Caramel sauce: Checkout my 3 ingredient caramel if you want to make it homemade.
- Chocolate sauce or you can use hot fudge!
- Chopped nuts for garnish: Hazelnuts are my favorite!
Apple Nachos Toppings
- Any chopped nuts like hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts.
- Add peanut butter on top. To make it thinner, put it in the microwave for a few seconds. This would also work with Nutella or Biscoff too.
- You could crush up any cracker, like graham crackers.
How to make apple nachos
- Core and slice apples. Arrange as desired on a serving platter.
- Drizzle apples with caramel and chocolate sauce.
- Sprinkle with nuts.
- Serve immediately. Will last a few hours at room temperature.
Expert Tips
- Core the apples before slicing to give the best results.
- Theme this recipe for any event or holiday for putting the apples in a fun shape, as opposed to just laying them out.
- Sprinkles would be a fun way to dress these up too.
Can you make Apple Nachos ahead?
I don’t recommend making these ahead of time. They don’t store well either. Apples brown as soon as you cut them so it’s best just to make and assemble and eat immediately.

What a super creative use of the creamer! Love that!! Pinned 🙂
throwing away her apples at school and telling me she eats them <—- eek!! Nothing more frustrating as a mom than trying to do the right thing and it ends up in the trash, unused, forgotten about, etc. I'll clean out Skylar's lunch box at the end of the day and see the super perfect healthy xyz item I packed her and mentally belabored over how she'd like it etc and see it in the lunchbox that nite and be like WHY didn't you eat that?! I didn't see it mom. Ugh, okay, how is that even possible. Kids 🙂
How do they not see it?? I swear, sometimes I wonder if they even look in their lunch boxes, lol!
Love these! I never really liked vegetables when I was growing up either, and now I have to sneak them into my own food. Thankfully, my toddler loves them! So these caramel apple nachos are definitely for me 🙂
Ha! Me too!!
Fruity nachos with yummy toppings are so fun and this is PERFECT for Fall. I love that these are caramel and hazelnut. Pinned 🙂
Thanks for the pin Chelsea!
My mom used to put sugar on many things to get us to eat them too; one of my favorites even today is tomatoes, sprinkled with sugar… Weird, I know, but I do eat them plain too. Loving these apple nachos and so much easier than making caramel apples, which I totally stink at!
Ha, that would make me like tomatoes I bet!! 🙂
I love these apple nachos, Dorothy! Such a creative idea. I love how easy this is, and I’m sure your daughter loves the taste, too!
