Print Recipe

A quick and easy snack featuring thinly sliced fresh apples arranged like nachos and drizzled with a creamy peanut butter sauce, enhanced with cinnamon and optional toppings for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium-sized fresh apples (Gala or Honeycrisp preferred)
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy, almond, or oat)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped toasted nuts (pecans or walnuts, optional)
  • A small handful of mini chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly to prevent the peanut butter drizzle from sliding off (about 2 minutes).
  2. Slice the apples into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Remove seeds but keep the skin on. Arrange slices in a single layer on a large serving platter, overlapping slightly to mimic nachos (5-7 minutes).
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using until smooth and pourable. Add milk gradually if too thick (3-4 minutes).
  4. Drizzle the peanut butter mixture evenly over the apple slices using a spoon or small whisk, aiming for thin streams that coat without drowning the apples (2 minutes).
  5. Sprinkle chopped toasted nuts and mini chocolate chips or raisins over the top if desired (1-2 minutes).
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture and fresh drizzle. If needed, cover loosely and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.

Notes

Slice apples thinly for best texture; prepare drizzle with gradual milk addition for smooth pour; serve immediately for crispness; warming peanut butter slightly helps drizzle consistency; lemon juice can prevent browning if prepping ahead.
