I’ve always loved apples in every form—hot, cold, shredded, baked, even in salads (as much as I can love salads).
When I spotted apple nachos in the latest Taste of Home, I couldn’t stop thinking about them. They’re the perfect snack: a crisp honeycrisp apple topped with a little chocolate, peanut butter, shredded coconut and salty pecans. With the apple as the base, it almost feels healthy, right?
I added a dollop of Greek yogurt and spread it over the apple and toppings. It’s such a simple idea, but it completely blew my mind. How had I never made these before? If you already knew about apple nachos, why didn’t you tell me?
As I assembled them, I meant to sprinkle cinnamon over the whole plate, but I got distracted by the peanut butter and chocolate and forgot. I only remembered when I looked at the photos. If you make these, definitely add cinnamon—maybe also nutmeg or apple pie spice for extra warmth.
I’m already planning to make these for breakfast. They were such a treat; I’m clearly obsessed. Don’t judge—I can be a little insecure about my foodie passions.

Things are back to normal here: peanut butter, chocolate and coconut. We needed this after all the brussels sprouts. What would you add to your apple nachos? I need ideas—this will probably be my go-to meal for the next few months.
