Ingredients
  

2 large apples (choose Granny Smith for a tart crunch or Honeycrisp for a sweeter bite)

1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, based on your preference)

1/4 cup granola (select your favorite blend)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dark chocolate for a rich flavor or milk chocolate for sweetness)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or a blend)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for a drizzle)

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for an extra layer of flavor)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the apples. Slice them into thin wedges, ensuring to carefully remove the core and seeds for easier eating.

    Arrange the Base: On a large plate or a stylish serving platter, arrange the apple slices in a fan-like, overlapping pattern. This will create a vibrant and visually appealing base for your nachos.

      Spread the Peanut Butter: To make drizzling easier, place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and warm it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Using a spoon, artfully drizzle the warmed peanut butter over the apple slices, ensuring an even distribution.

        Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle the granola over the apple nachos, followed by an evenly distributed layer of mini chocolate chips. Finally, add the crushed nuts on top for a satisfying crunch.

          Drizzle and Sprinkle More: For added sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the entire arrangement. If you like a hint of spice, finish with a light dusting of cinnamon across the top.

            Serve Immediately: Serve your Peanut Butter Apple Nachos right away to ensure they maintain their fresh texture and flavor!
