Place the slices of apples on a big plate in an overlapping pattern in a single layer.

Substitutions & Variations

Make this the perfect snack for you - here are possible ingredient swaps to make.

• Toppings - there are many possible options for topping these fruit nachos - you could use chocolate sauce, sprinkles, chopped nuts, cashew butter, melted peanut butter, chopped peanuts, freeze-dried fruit, or chocolate chips (or cacao nibs). Get creative and use your favorite toppings!
• Apple Types - the best apple for snacking is flavorful and crisp when raw - including Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Fuji apples, or Granny Smith Apples. You can use any variety of apples you have available, though!

Storage

If you need to make this recipe ahead of time and store it, squeeze a little lemon juice on the apples to keep them from browning. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a day in an airtight container.

Otherwise, this little treat is best served immediately after assembling.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Recommended Tools - I recommend using a large, sharp knife or a mandoline to slice your apples.

Sauce Alternatives - if you'd like to make an oil-free homemade caramel sauce, you can substitute the coconut oil for one tablespoon of warm water.
