Ingredients for Apple Nachos

Apples: You can use your favorite variety of apple. My favorites are Gala and Fuji, but any variety will work well.

Peanut Butter: Again, any variety will work well. If you have nut allergies, feel free to substitute with an alternative like sunflower butter.

Chocolate Chips and Chopped Peanuts: For these toppings, mini chocolate chips work perfectly, but any chocolate will do. And the chopped peanuts can be substituted for cashews, pecans or pistachios or left off entirely.

That’s it! It’s a super simple snack perfect for after school or a mid-morning munch.
