Ingredients

Scale

Apple Pie Nachos

  • 3 large fresh apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups cinnamon chips or cinnamon-sugar coated tortilla chips

Cream Cheese Drizzle

  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional, to thin for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spiced Apples: Peel and thinly slice your apples. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently sauté the mixture until the apples are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes, releasing that warm apple pie aroma.
  2. Layer the Cinnamon Chips: Arrange the cinnamon chips evenly on a large serving plate, creating the crunchy base for your apple pie nachos.
  3. Add Warm Apples on Top: Spoon the warm, spiced apples evenly over the cinnamon chips, ensuring every bite has a juicy, sweet apple taste.
  4. Make the Cream Cheese Drizzle: In a bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  5. Drizzle Generously and Serve: Using a spoon or a piping pouch, drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the apples and chips. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast of warm apples, crispy chips, and creamy drizzle.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar and powdered sugar based on your sweetness preference.
  • Cook apples in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and achieve even softening.
  • Serve the apples warm for the best contrast with the crispy chips and cool drizzle.
  • Prepare the cream cheese drizzle last minute to keep it smooth and fresh.
