These Caramel Apple Nachos are an easy treat perfect for movie nights and get togethers. Sliced apples drizzled in caramel and white chocolate, and topped with chocolate chips and toffee bits – it tastes just like a caramel apple, but simpler to make!
Family Favorite Caramel Apple Nachos
Hello – it’s me, Lily! Last week I mentioned that we made a yummy treat for movie night. It was Caramel Apple Nachos, and it was DELICIOUS!! We’ve had caramel apples before, but never as nachos, which were kind of like caramel apple slices! Mom said we could put on some of our favorite treats, so we put on caramel, white chocolate, mini chocolate chips and toffee bits!! We ate the whole thing in just like 10 minutes!! They were a little messy so I helped my little sister, Evie, eat them. 🙂
If you like Caramel Apples, then you will love this recipe. We used slices of red apples and green apples. The red apples are a little bit sweeter, but I still like both kinds! My mom said it’s much easier to make than Caramel Apples! I think so too!! Plus they’re just as tasty. I think we need to make this EVERY family night. My dad was out of town when we made this, so I’m excited to make it again for him. I think he’ll love it because he likes caramel apples just like mom!
How to make Apple Nachos:
Start by preparing the heath bits and mini chips by putting them into separate bowls. It’s important to have these all ready so they can be sprinkled on as soon as the caramel and white chocolate are on. Next, cut a ziploc bag at the corner – you will eventually use it to drizzle the white chocolate. Cut your apples right before working on the candy coating and caramel so they do not brown, then place on your prepared dish.
Unwrap caramels and place in small pot with 1 TB water. Heat on low-medium temp until melted. (Or if you opt to use Ice Cream Caramel Topping skip this step). At the same time, melt white chocolate by placing candy coating in a small pot on low heat and stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Place in ziploc bag with cut corner as soon as it’s done. Drizzle white chocolate and caramel on as soon as they are melted and smooth. Sprinkle toppings (toffee bits and mini chips) on immediately, and serve right away.
Some other topping ideas:
- Peanut Butter Drizzle
- Ground cinnamon
- Cinnamon sugar
- Crushed nuts
- Butterscotch Chips
- Crushed OREOs
- Reese’s Pieces
- Crushed Graham Cracker
- Shredded Coconut
I wish I had some Caramel Apple Nachos right now!! I hope you like this recipe. Like I said, it’s really easy. And I think you’ll really like it! I hope you can come back again soon for more yummy treats from me.
Love, Lily

BEHIND THE SCENES AT LILLUNA.COM:
This Recipe Didnt work for me. The kraft caramels hardened too firm, making it impossible to Pull thE apples apart. Will try again with the ice cream topping instead.
