Print Recipe

A quick and healthy dessert made with sliced apples, warm peanut butter, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Ready in just 10 minutes, this customizable treat satisfies sweet cravings without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (60% cacao)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and core the apples. Cut them in half and remove the core. Leave the skin on.
  2. Slice each apple half into thin slices, about ¼-inch thick. You should get about 12-15 slices per apple.
  3. Arrange the apple slices on a serving plate in a single layer, slightly overlapping like nachos.
  4. Spoon the peanut butter into a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 15-20 seconds until loose and drizzle-able. Stir well.
  5. Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the apple slices in a zigzag pattern.
  6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the apples while still warm.
  7. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and shredded coconut over the top.
  8. If using, drizzle honey or maple syrup lightly over everything.
  9. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  10. Serve immediately while apples are crisp and toppings are warm.

Notes

Slice apples right before serving to prevent browning. If you don’t have a microwave, melt peanut butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Don’t let the nachos sit too long—the salt will draw moisture from the apples after about 15 minutes. For best results, serve immediately.
