apple nachos

By kdet

Ingredients

• 4 medium tart apple (I used Granny Smith), peeled, cored and sliced very thin
• juice of 1-2 lemons
• 1 jar caramel sauce (or melt together 36 caramels and 1 Tbsp. water in microwave)
• 30 large marshmallows
• 1/3 cup butter, cubed
• 1/3 cup chopped peanuts
• 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

After slicing the apples, immediately dip them in lemon juice (or give them a good sprinkle) so that they do not brown. Set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt marshmallows and butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside.

Arrange apple slices on a large platter. Drizzle with caramel, and then with the melted marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle with peanuts and chocolate chips. Serve immediately while the caramel is still warm.
