Crispy Apple Nachos With Cinnamon (Printable Version)

Crisp apple slices with cinnamon tahini drizzle, coconut, nuts, and chocolate chips for a sweet healthy snack.

# What You Need:

→ Apples

01 - 3 large crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and thinly sliced

→ Cinnamon Tahini Drizzle

02 - 3 tablespoons tahini
03 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons warm water, as needed to thin

→ Toppings

06 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - 1/4 cup roasted chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
08 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
09 - 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins
10 - Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Core the apples and cut them into thin, even slices. Arrange the slices in an overlapping layer across a large serving platter.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Add warm water one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously, until the mixture reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
03 - Evenly drizzle the cinnamon tahini sauce over the arranged apple slices, allowing it to settle into the gaps between the layers.
04 - Scatter the shredded coconut, roasted chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, and dried cranberries or raisins over the top. Finish with a light pinch of flaky sea salt if desired.
05 - Present the apple nachos right away for the crispiest texture and freshest flavor.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes twenty minutes from fridge to plate and looks like something you would pay fourteen dollars for at a cafe.
  • The cinnamon tahini drizzle is the kind of thing you will start putting on everything from toast to oatmeal to your finger.
02 -
  • Apples start browning within thirty minutes of being sliced so if you are prepping ahead, toss them in a bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and hold off on assembly.
  • The tahini drizzle thickens as it sits so if it tightens up before you use it, just whisk in another splash of warm water to bring it back.
03 -
  • Slice the apples right before serving because even the crispest variety loses its magic once it sits around wondering what happened.
  • Warm the tahini drizzle slightly in the microwave for ten seconds if your kitchen is cold, it flows beautifully when warm and seizes when chilled.
