Print Recipe

These Easy 5-Ingredient Apple Nachos with Caramel Drizzle are a quick, no-bake dessert that combines crisp apples, creamy peanut butter, melty chocolate chips, and gooey caramel for a sweet-salty-crunchy treat. Perfect for late-night cravings, parties, or a healthy-ish snack that feels indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended, or Granny Smith for tartness)
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or almond butter works)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly to remove wax and residue.
  2. Core and slice the apples into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a serving plate, slightly overlapping if needed.
  4. Spoon the peanut butter into a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 15-20 seconds until runny and easy to drizzle.
  5. Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the apple slices in a back-and-forth motion.
  6. In the same bowl, add the chocolate chips and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 30-45 seconds total).
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, trying to cover each slice.
  8. Drizzle the caramel sauce over everything in a zigzag pattern. If thick, warm for 10 seconds first.
  9. If using, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top.
  10. Serve immediately while apples are crisp and toppings are warm.

Notes

For best results, serve immediately to maintain apple crispness. If prepping ahead, toss sliced apples in lemon juice to prevent browning. Warm toppings before drizzling for even coverage. Layer in order: peanut butter, chocolate, then caramel to help toppings stick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; reheat in microwave for 10-15 seconds.
