Make Disney-Inspired Apple Nachos For The Perfect Movie Night Snack
The Perfect Snack
Whether you are having a night of self-care and watching a movie by yourself, or enjoying a flick with family & friends, Disney-Inspired Apple Nachos are the ideal snack. Hear me out… They are NO BAKE. The toppings are totally customizable. I dare say they are on the “healthier side” since we are starting with fruit. And, these Apple Nachos are the most sweet & salty pile of deliciousness that I’ve had in a long time – I literally cleaned the plate. Could not stop eating. 10/10 stars – highly recommend! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd!
Autumn Vibes
Apple Nachos are truly great any time of the year, but I definitely eat a lot more apples in the fall. My absolute favorite kind are Honeycrisp – they are so sweet. If you’ve been following me at all, you know I have a violent sweet tooth!
Anything caramel-ish also reminds me of autumn. Caramel also makes me want to head over to Caramel-Küche in Epcot but since I’m over 1,100 miles away from that I guess I have to settle for Apple Nachos this weekend….
No Mickey-Shaped Cookie Cutter? No problem!
If you do not yet have a Mickey-shaped cookie cutter in your possession, let me recommend my favorite set! It is this 4 piece Mouse Cookie Cutter Set from Amazon. For this recipe I used the smallest cutter (with the green hand protector.). I just love these particular cutters because they have the hand protectors and that really helps – especially when cutting through denser materials such as apples (or Rice Krispies Treats!)
This set is UNDER $6! It was well worth it for me – I’ve had so much fun creating Mickey-shaped recipes. I promise you won’t regret the purchase! Navigate around this blog and check out some of the other Mickey-shaped foods I’ve made such as Homemade Cheese Crackers and Fruit Skewers.
Disney-Inspired Caramel Apple Nachos
Ingredients
Method
- Mix the lemon juice in water in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Wash and dry the apples.
- Slice apples into rounds 1/4" thick.
- Using a small Mickey-shaped cookie cutter, cut a decorative hole in the center of each slice. (For the inner slices, throw out the shape as it contains seeds/core. For the outer most slices, save the little Mickey-shapes for decoration.) *See "NOTES" below for link to purchase a Mickey-shaped cookie cutter if need be 🙂
- As you cut them, place each finished apple slice into the bowl of lemon/water to prevent browning.
- Arrange the apple slices on a platter in overlapping layers.
- Slightly warm the caramel topping in the microwave (10-15 seconds) then drizzle over the apples. (It thins out a bit as it warms – this helps it soak into the apples.)
- Scatter the mini chocolate chips, marshmallows, and sprinkles on top. (Add whatever you'd like – nuts would work great as well!)
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle on top of the nachos.
- Place the little Mickey-shapes that were cut from the apples on top as a decoration.
- Finish it off with a sprinkle of sea salt. Enjoy your masterpiece!
Notes
Apple Nachos vs Cheese Nachos
So did you make some Disney-inspired Caramel Apple Nachos? How do they compare to regular cheese nachos? Better, right? LOL! I guess it depends on your mood but I will pick the Apple ones every time! And, as always, since they are Mickey-shaped that definitely makes them taste better!
