Ingredients
  

2 large crisp apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (substitute with almond butter for a nut-free option)

1/4 cup granola (choose your favorite flavor)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds work well)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for an extra drizzle of sweetness)

A pinch of cinnamon (optional for a warm spice note)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, for a pop of color)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Begin by washing the apples thoroughly under cold water to remove any residue. Next, core the apples and slice them into thin wedges resembling nacho chips, about 1/4 inch thick. Retaining the skin adds a delightful crunch and beneficial nutrients.

    Make the Peanut Butter Drizzle: Take a small microwave-safe bowl and add the creamy peanut butter. Microwave it for 15-20 seconds until it's slightly warm and easier to drizzle. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, stir in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup into the warmed peanut butter.

      Arrange the Apple Slices: On a large serving plate or platter, artistically arrange the apple slices in a single layer, slightly overlapping them like classic nacho chips for a delightful presentation.

        Add Toppings: Generously drizzle the warm, creamy peanut butter over the arranged apple slices. Evenly sprinkle the granola, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts for a colorful and textured topping.

          Finishing Touches: For an added depth of flavor, gently sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the assembled nachos. If you want a refreshing finish, place a few fresh mint leaves on top as a garnish.

            Serve Immediately: These crunchy apple nacho slices are best enjoyed immediately while they're fresh and crisp. For an interactive element, serve with extra peanut butter on the side for dipping!
