I told you I really love apples.
I love them in every form: hot or cold, shredded or baked. I even enjoy them in salads — well, as much as I can love salads.
I first saw apple nachos in the latest Taste of Home and couldn’t stop thinking about them. They’re a perfect snack: a big, crisp honeycrisp apple topped with a little chocolate, peanut butter, shredded coconut and salty pecans. Add a drizzle of caramel and a dollop of Greek yogurt, and it feels like a treat that’s also kind of healthy. Right? At least that’s how I justified it.
I spread the Greek yogurt across the apple slices and piled on the toppings. It’s such a simple idea, yet wildly satisfying — I couldn’t understand why I hadn’t made apple nachos before. If you’ve been enjoying these for years, I’m a little annoyed you didn’t tell me sooner.
While assembling the plate I meant to sprinkle everything with cinnamon, but I got distracted by the peanut butter and chocolate and forgot. I only noticed after looking at the photos. If you make these, do add cinnamon — and a little nutmeg or apple pie spice if you have it. Spices lift this snack from tasty to irresistible.
I couldn’t stop thinking about them and had to make them again for breakfast. They were such a treat. Yes, I’m obsessed — and maybe a little insecure about admitting it.

Peanut butter, chocolate and coconut felt like the perfect follow-up after those brussels sprouts. Now tell me — what would you add to your apple nachos? I’m collecting ideas, because clearly these will be a staple for me for the next several months.
