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.

Hi Dorothy. I am new to your blog. Absolutely love this idea. I know my daughter will love this.
Welcome!! And thank you!
Welcome!! And thank you!
I was totally that kid that threw away her apples if she didn’t have caramel! I’ve never tried apple nachos, but your version looks delicious! I feel like they’d be an awesome snack to watch football with this fall. Pinned!
Thanks for the pin Krystle!
How creative and delicious! These would be perfect to serve at a party. Definitely going to try these out, especially since apples are coming back in season, yay!
Enjoy Danielle!
I was the kid who got whole wheat bread and apples in my lunch box. While everyone else got wonder bread and twinkies. Nobody ever wanted to trade with me. Sure wish I had apple nachos then – would have been the talk of the cafeteria. Love!!
LOL! I always had a treat in my lunch. So does Jordan (probably a bad thing!) 🙂
Loving this. Crisp apple with the chocolate hazelnut flavour = amazing idea! And what a great idea for using the coffee creamer in the caramel. I know the creamer is sugar free, but sweetened with sweeteners, but how sweet is the caramel sauce? Perfect for a snack, especially with the fall/ Autumn approaching fast. Pinned!
I think it’s sweeter than if you used heavy whipping cream, for sure. But not too bad!
