Ingredients to make these vegan apple nachos

• Apples. I love using Honey Crisp, but any type of apple will work.
• Melted Chocolate. You can melt some chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave. I used about 1/2 cup, so I had enough to cover all the apples.
• Hazelnut Butter. If you don’t want to use any type of nut/seed butter, you can use caramel sauce. I have a homemade caramel sauce recipe that I used for my caramel apple bark recipe.
• Dates. Using Medjool dates is key for this, because they are super soft and juicy. They’re easier to chop in pieces and practically melt in your mouth when you eat them!
• Cashews. You can roughly chop up cashews or any other nut of your choice.

Tips on making these healthy apple nachos

• Arrange all your apple slices in one layer. Try not to stack too many apple slices directly on top of yourself to ensure each slice is evenly coated with toppings. Unless you prefer to have some bare, I suggest using a larger plate to avoid this.
• Chop your dates into smaller pieces. Keeping them small will allow you to have them more dispersed on each apple slice.
• Melt your chocolate chips with coconut oil. This keeps the chocolate staying smooth. The easiest way is to place it in a bowl and microwave it in 25-30 second increments, stirring in between.

How to store your leftover apple nachos

Place any leftover apple nachos in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 1-2 days.
