Ingredients
  

3 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced

1 cup granola (your choice)

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

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup crushed peanuts (or walnuts)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Sprinkles (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges, removing the core and seeds. Arrange the slices on a large platter or serving dish in a fan-like manner.

    Add the Granola: Evenly sprinkle the granola over the apple slices, ensuring some pieces fall between the wedges for extra crunch.

      Drizzle with Caramel: Warm the caramel sauce slightly in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Use a spoon or a squeeze bottle to generously drizzle caramel sauce over the apple slices and granola.

        Sprinkle the Toppings: Evenly distribute the mini chocolate chips and crushed peanuts over the apple nachos for added flavor and texture.

          Add the Cinnamon: Lightly dust the entire platter with cinnamon for a warm spice note that complements the caramel and apples.

            Optional Toppings: If desired, add dollops of whipped cream on the side or a few sprinkles over the nachos for a festive touch.

              Serve Immediately: Serve the caramel apple nachos right away to ensure the apples remain crisp.

                  - Presentation Tips: For an extra special touch, serve the nachos on a rustic wooden board, and include a small bowl of extra caramel sauce for dipping. Adding some fresh mint leaves can elevate the presentation further.
