🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple slices.
  3. Toast the Pecans (Optional): If using pecans, spread them out on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Let them cool slightly and then roughly chop.
  4. Prepare the Dulce de Leche: If you're making your own dulce de leche, combine the sweetened condensed milk and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the mixture has thickened and turned a rich caramel color. Watch carefully to prevent burning, and adjust heat as needed.
  5. Melt the Chocolate (Optional): If using chocolate, melt it in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
  6. Assemble the Nachos: Arrange the cinnamon-sugar apple slices on a baking sheet or platter in a single layer, slightly overlapping. Drizzle generously with dulce de leche.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the toasted pecans (if using) and melted chocolate (if using) over the dulce de leche-covered apple slices.
  8. Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the apple nachos immediately. The apples are crispier when they are fresh.

📝 Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade dulce de leche.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the sweetness.
