Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work beautifully)

1 cup granola (choose your favorite blend for added texture)

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional for added warmth)

1/2 cup mini marshmallows (or regular cut into small pieces)

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for crunch)

1/4 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)

Whipped cream (for serving - optional)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish - optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Wash and core the apples. Slice them into thin rounds or wedges, ensuring the pieces are uniform for even topping distribution.

    Sauté the Apples: In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the sliced apples along with the ground cinnamon and nutmeg (if using). Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they just start to soften but still retain some crunch. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

      Build Your Nachos: On a large serving plate or platter, create a base layer with half of the sautéed apples. Then, evenly sprinkle half of the granola over the apples.

        Add Toppings: Drizzle some caramel sauce over this initial layer, followed by a sprinkle of mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips.

          Layer Again: Repeat the process with the remaining apples, granola, and toppings, creating another colorful and tempting layer.

            Final Touch: Finish with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce over the top and optional whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a pop of color.

              Serve Warm: Enjoy your warm cinnamon apple nachos immediately while they are still warm and gooey!
