How to make this recipe

  1. Heat shredded coconut until browned. Once toasted, remove from heat immediately and set aside.
  2. Melt chocolate chips with cream, milk, water or butter in microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  3. Microwave dulce de leche and add to another plastic bag. Snip small holes at the bottoms of both bags.
  4. Slice and core apples and plate.
  5. Sprinkle toasted coconut over apples, drizzle chocolate and dulce de leche over the apples. Add peanuts.
  6. Repeat process until layered to satisfaction. Serve and enjoy right away!

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Apples – I used honey crisp apples but any variety like empire or granny smith would also work well here.
  • Shredded coconut – I use unsweetened coconut flakes but feel free to use sweetened if that's what you have on hand.
  • Caramel sauce – I used store-bought dulce de leche but you can always make your own or use any caramel sauce that you can find.
  • Chocolate chips – use any variety of chocolate chips or melting chocolate that you prefer. You can also omit the bottom two ingredients and use a store-bought chocolate sauce instead of making your own.
  • Cream – substitute milk, water or butter to melt the chocolate chips.
  • Peanut pieces (optional topping)

Additional topping ideas

These apple nachos are flavoured to taste like the popular Girl Scout Cookies: Samoas! Samoas are a cookie that is packed with the rich flavours of chocolate, caramel and toasted coconut. I've included toppings in this recipe that reflect the popular cookie but you can customize these nachos as you please. For additional topping ideas, try these:

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Toffee bits
  • Crushed pretzels
  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Raisins
  • Powdered sugar
  • Cinnamon sugar

Storing leftovers

This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but if you have extras you can store them in the fridge for up to three days. To make sure they don't brown, sprinkle the apples with lemon juice. When ready to enjoy, simply take them out of the fridge and enjoy!

Note: if you are making your own caramel syrup, excess can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
