Ingredients
  

2 large crisp apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)

1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Fresh fruit slices or berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly. Core and slice them into thin rounds or wedges, as you prefer. If you'd like, you can toss them in a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter (or almond butter) with honey or maple syrup, and cinnamon until well combined. You can microwave the mixture for about 10 seconds to make it easier to stir if needed.

      Assemble the Nachos: On a large serving plate or platter, arrange the sliced apples in a single layer, overlapping slightly if desired.

        Drizzle the Sauce: Use a spoon to drizzle the peanut butter mixture generously over the apple slices, ensuring every piece gets a tasty coating.

          Add the Granola Topping: Sprinkle the granola evenly over the sauced apples for texture and crunch.

            Optional Additions: If using, scatter the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts over the top for an extra layer of flavor and richness.

              Garnish and Serve: Add some fresh fruit slices or berries on top if desired for a pop of color. Serve immediately while the apples are crisp, and enjoy your Sweet Apple Nachos!
