Ingredients
  

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)

1 cup almond butter (or substitute with peanut butter if preferred)

½ cup granola (opt for a nutty blend for extra flavor)

¼ cup mini chocolate chips

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

⅓ cup dried cranberries or raisins

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts), a dusting of cinnamon, or additional fresh fruit slices

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Start by thoroughly washing the apples under cool running water. Once clean, dry them gently with a kitchen towel. Slice each apple into thin rounds, about ¼-inch thick, carefully removing the core while keeping the slices intact to maintain their shape.

    Arrange the Base: On a large, flat serving platter, creatively arrange the apple slices in a circular or overlapping pattern. This formation mimics a traditional nacho platter, making it visually appealing for serving.

      Spread the Nut Butter: Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, dollop a generous layer of almond or peanut butter onto each apple slice. Ensure some apple edges remain visible to highlight the vibrant colors and textures.

        Add the Toppings: Evenly sprinkle your chosen granola over the nut butter-slathered apple slices. Next, distribute the mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and dried cranberries (or raisins) across the platter, ensuring every slice gets a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

          Drizzle for Extra Flavor: If you desire additional sweetness, drizzle a light layer of honey or maple syrup over the entire assembly. Finish off by lightly sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the toppings to enhance and elevate the flavors.

            Serve Immediately: Dive into your Crunchy Apple Nacho Slices right away for the best taste and texture. For an extra touch, feel free to sprinkle on optional toppings like chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
