Why You'll Love It
- Apple nachos are endlessly flexible—swap toppings based on what's in your pantry, serve them as an after-school snack or a casual dinner-party dessert, and skip the usual guilt because GOOD GOOD Crunchy Peanut Butter is sweetened with chicory root fiber, not added sugar. The texture is the real star here: that satisfying crunch from whole peanut pieces holds its own against crisp autumn apples, granola, and a drizzle of warm peanut butter that sets up just enough as it cools. It's the kind of snack that disappears fast, so you might want to double the batch.
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji work great), cored and sliced thin
- 4 tbsp GOOD GOOD Crunchy Peanut Butter
- 2 tbsp GOOD GOOD Raspberry Jam (or any GOOD GOOD jam of your choice)
- 2 tbsp rolled oats granola, lightly toasted
- 1 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp hemp seeds or chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- Optional: 1 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts for extra crunch
Instructions
- Step 1: Core your apples and slice them into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the rounds in an overlapping, fanned-out layer on a large plate or wooden board—you want them to look like nachos, so let them overlap casually.
- Step 2: Spoon GOOD GOOD Crunchy Peanut Butter into a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 20–25 seconds, then stir until smooth and pourable. If it needs another few seconds, go for it.
- Step 3: Drizzle the warm peanut butter evenly over the apple slices using a spoon or a small squeeze bottle. Work quickly before it starts to set.
- Step 4: Warm GOOD GOOD Raspberry Jam in the microwave for 10 seconds, stir, then drizzle it over the nachos in thin ribbons crossing the peanut butter drizzle.
- Step 5: Scatter the toasted granola over the top, followed by the mini chocolate chips, seeds, and chopped peanuts if using.
- Step 6: Finish with a pinch of cinnamon and a light pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately for maximum crunch.
Tips & Tricks
- For the crispest apple slices, choose firm varieties like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith—they hold up better under the warm peanut butter drizzle. If you want to prep ahead, slice and store apples in a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice for up to a few hours, then pat dry before assembling. Swap the raspberry jam for GOOD GOOD Blueberry Jam, Concord Grape Jelly, or even Chili Fig Jam if you're feeling bold—the sweet heat plays surprisingly well with the peanut butter and cinnamon.
