Apple Nachos

By pamdabear3383

Chill apples before starting: warm caramel sticks better to cold appels. Apples may be needed to be dipped twice into caramel. Place caramel dipped apples into freezer just long enough for caramel to cool before drizzling melted chocolate.

**Subbed caramel ice cream topping and heated marshmallow fluff. Used cinnamon chips. **I just left the marshmallows in chunks and used ice cream topping caramel syrup. *Because I am not a peanut fan, I used chopped pecans instead. I also made my own homemade caramel instead of using caramel pieces. *I think next time I’ll use caramel ice cream topping instead of the caramels and water, melted marshmallow fluff instead of the marshmallows, and 6-8 apples instead of just 4. There was WAY too much topping for 4 apples. I used Gala apples, which was nice too. *When it says “serve immediately,” it means it! I made these for a party, and everybody loved them, but since I had to make them a couple hours in advance, the apples were mushy (I tossed them with citrus to prevent browning) and the caramel/ marshmallow sauces melted. But the flavor was so good that several ladies asked for the recipe!
