Sweet and Salty Caramel Chocolate Apple Nachos

Prep apples

Wash and dry apples. Cut into small wedges, removing core. Add to bowl of water with lemon to keep them from browning.

Once all apples are cut and have been in the lemon water, drain apples and pat dry with clean dish towel.

Arrange apples

Arrange apples in an attractive way on a platter or charcuterie board. I alternated red and green apples for a pleasing display.

Melt caramels

Add caramels to a glass bowl and add 1-2 tsp water (I used only half the bag). Melt in microwave at 80% power for 30-45 seconds until caramels are melted.

Drizzle caramel sauce over apples.

Melt chocolate

Use any chocolate chips you like, I prefer a dark chip for the richer flavor. Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to glass bowl and microwave at 80% power for 30 seconds. Stir. If not melted, microwave for 15 additional seconds, and repeat until chips are mostly melted.

To make chocolate easier to drizzle, add a little cream. Stir well and drizzle over apples.

Nuts

Chop nuts into small pieces. Sprinkle them over the warm caramel and chocolate so they stick.
