Apple Nachos Recipe

The kids are back in school, there’s a chill in the air and we are excited for fall! We love pulling out the sweatshirts, watching the leaves turn golden, and visiting the apple orchard.

There are endless ways to enjoy the fresh, autumn apples from drinking hot apple cider to eating them right off the tree or making Bloomin’ Baked Apples and Caramel Apple Mousse Cake.

And of course, don’t forget caramel apples! Today’s Caramel Apple Nachos Recipe is inspired by caramel apples and my strawberry nachos from this summer.

Caramel Apple Nachos FAQs

1. What kind of apples do you suggest? You can use your favorite apples or whatever apples you have on hand. I like the sweet/tart combo of apples with caramel.

2. Which varieties of apples are slow to brown? Cameo, Cortland, Empire, Gala,  Ambrosia, Arctic, or Opal.

3. How do you prevent the apples from turning brown? If you want to dice the apples ahead of time, you can put the diced apples in club soda for about 3 minutes to prevent browning.

4. Where did you find the berry baskets? You can find the wooden berry baskets here. I hot glued some red and white bakers twine around the top for some added color.

5. Can I use whipped topping (cool whip) instead of whipped cream? Yes, that would work as well.
