Ingredients
  

2 large crisp apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut-free option)

1/4 cup granola (your choice of flavor)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly under cold water. Core the apples and slice them into thin nacho wedges, about 1/4 inch thick. You can keep the skin on for extra crunch and nutrients.

    Make the Peanut Butter Drizzle: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the creamy peanut butter for about 15-20 seconds in the microwave until it's slightly warm and easy to drizzle. If desired, mix in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to sweeten.

      Arrange the Apple Slices: On a large serving plate or platter, arrange the apple slices in a single layer, slightly overlapping them like nacho chips.

        Add Toppings: Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the apple slices generously. Sprinkle the granola, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts evenly over the top.

          Finishing Touches: If you like, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor. For a fresh touch, add a few mint leaves as garnish.

            Serve Immediately: These crunchy apple nacho slices are best enjoyed right away while they're fresh and crisp. Serve with extra peanut butter on the side for dipping!
