Apple Nachos

1. Cut apple into quarters and remove inner core. Cut each apple wedge into thin 1/4” slices.
2. Optional Step: soak apple slices in cold water mixed with lemon juice at a ratio of 1 Tbsp. lemon juice per cup of water for 5 minutes to prevent browning. Do this if you want the apple nachos to be able to sit out for more than 15 minutes without the apples oxidizing and turning brown. Pat apple slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels after.
3. Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern on a serving plate.
4. Place peanut butter in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds until it is warm and easy to drizzle. Do not over microwave and make sure to drizzle right away while it is still warm!
5. Use a spoon to drizzle the peanut butter onto the apples using a zig-zag motion to distribute it evenly.
6. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, coconut flakes and any other other desired toppings on top of the apple nachos. Serve right away.

Notes:

1. Apple nachos are best eaten right away but if you soaked in lemon water, leftovers can keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
2. Other toppings ideas include: caramel sauce, melted chocolate, toasted nuts, granola, mini marshmallows, a dash of cinnamon or whatever else you can think of.
