Ingredients
  

3 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced

1 cup of granola (your favorite blend or homemade)

1/2 cup of caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons of coconut oil (or milk, for creaminess)

1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips

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

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and slicing the apples into thin wedges. You can optionally soak the slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice to prevent browning while you prepare other ingredients.

    Melt the Peanut Butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, stirring until smooth and creamy. If you prefer it a bit thinner, add more coconut oil or a splash of milk and stir again.

      Arrange the Apples: On a large serving platter or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, create a base with the sliced apples, overlapping them slightly for an appealing look.

        Add Granola: Evenly sprinkle the granola on top of the arranged apple slices, allowing the crunchy texture to balance with the softness of the apples.

          Drizzle Caramel: Warm the caramel sauce slightly in the microwave (if using store-bought) for about 10-15 seconds. Drizzle generously over the apples and granola, ensuring that each bite will have that delicious caramel flavor.

            Peanut Butter Drizzle: Warm the previously melted peanut butter mixture again briefly if needed. Use a spoon or a squeeze bottle to drizzle the peanut butter over the nachos in a zigzag pattern.

              Garnish: Scatter the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts over the top for added flavor and texture. If you desire an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the entire platter for a gourmet finish.

                Serve: Optionally, serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a decadent treat.

                  Enjoy: Grab a fork (or go in with your hands!) and enjoy this fun and delicious dessert nacho plate while it’s fresh.
