APPLE NACHOS

My family loves to make caramel apples every fall. While I love the taste of caramel apples, I don’t love how hard they are to make. It seems like my caramel always slides off. The kids would usually only eat part of the apple wasting the rest. So we started making apple nachos instead. I love how delicious and easy they are to make. You can also customize them so that everyone can enjoy them the way they want to.

CARAMEL APPLE NACHO TOPPINGS

There are many different types of toppings you can add on your caramel apple nachos. Here is a list of some of our favorites.

• pecans
• walnuts
• m&m’s

HOW DO YOU KEEP THE APPLES FROM TURNING BROWN?

The best way to prevent the apple slices from browning is to toss them in a bowl filled with a little bit of cold water mixed with 1-2 Tbsp of lemon juice. This will prevent the apples from getting brown and will keep them looking pretty and fresh. Simply drain the apples and then lay them on a paper towel before placing them onto your cookie sheet.

HOW TO MELT CARAMELS

• Unwrap the KRAFT Caramels by gently squeezing the sides of the caramels and then peeling off the wrappers. Be sure to unwrap all of the caramels before melting.
• Place the unwrapped caramels into a medium-sized saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of water.
• Cook the caramels over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes.
• Stir constantly until the caramel is fully melted
