    Yes, there is a way to enjoy Sugar Free Apple Nachos.

    I am thankful that there is a way to make this favorite snack idea without having to add a bunch of sugar to it!

    Another perfect way to dress up healthy apples.
    I like that this apple recipe can be served to just about any crowd as well!

     

    Because I live very close to an apple orchard (just about down the street actually) I always have a lot of apples on hand during apple season.

    Recently, I posted the directions for making homemade apple sauce without adding sugar. You can check out my many other apple recipes as well.

     

    I like to have a lot of fruit on hand in my home. However, I am not a fan of fruit going bad. Here are some products that can make fruit even better!

    Recently, someone asked me what are the benefits of apples.

    I always think of apples as that delicious fruit that is so convenient.
    What I mean is, all you need to do is rinse your apple and pack it to go so that it is there for you when you are looking for a snack.

    But, we all know that there there are indeed other benefits associated with eating apples.

    For an easy snack that is just under a hundred calories (average apple), this fat free treat can certainly satisfy a craving. But, apples also are a decent source of fiber and vitamin C.

     

    You may also be wondering how do you pick the right apple.

    We all know that there are sweet apples, sour apples, apples that are best for snacking on and apples that are best for baking with. There are even more kinds of apples for so many other uses as well.

    Here is the best kind of apples for a recipe such as this one.

    I like a fresh and crisp apple that reminds me of eating those other kinds of nachos.
    Also, an apple that will offer a nice balance to the sweetness of the caramel that goes on top.
    I like a Granny Smith, McIntosh, or maybe even a Jonathan apple for this nacho recipe.

     

    Here are some tips for choosing the right apple.

    I just mentioned that using a less sweet apple, such as a Granny Smith, works best is this recipe because of the sweetness of the caramel sauce. Also, a firm apple will hold the toppings better as well as give that great crunch that is expected from most any kind of nacho.

    Here are some more helpful tips for you.

    1. While I have a great recipe for homemade sugar free caramel sauce, there are other options out there. You can find Sugar Free Caramel Sauce online. I prefer making my own sauce so that I know exactly what is in it including sugar alternatives used.
    2. Use more than one kind of apple for color and flavor. I like the green color of a Granny Smith however, adding a few slices of Ida Red or even an Empire apple can make the presentation of the nachos more colorful.
    3. Think of the caramel sauce as the 'cheese' in this kind of nacho. Adding other kinds of toppings can be like the hot peppers, lettuce, or other goodies that you would expect from regular nachos. Topping ideas include sugar free chocolate chips, sugar free marshmallows, cinnamon or apple pie spice, chopped nuts, oats, granola, pretzels, sugar free candy, berries, or even cereal

    The recipe for Sugar Free Apple Nachos

    Earlier I mentioned that using a less sweet apple, such as a Granny Smith, works best is this recipe because of the sweetness of the caramel sauce. Also, a firm apple will hold the toppings better as well as give that great crunch that is expected from most any kind of nacho.

    Also mentioned was a listing of toppings that can be added to the nachos.

    Topping ideas include sugar free chocolate chips, sugar free marshmallows, cinnamon or apple pie spice, chopped nuts, oats, granola, pretzels, sugar free candy, berries, or even cereal

     

    Ingredients needed to make no added sugar Apple Nachos.

     

    • Apples- 4. I suggest using an apple variety that is more tart than sweet, such as Granny Smith. Prepare your apples by first washing them and then removing the core before cutting them into quarter inch slices.
    • Sugar Free Caramel Sauce- ยฝ to ยพ cup. I have a great recipe for homemade sugar free caramel sauce. You can find Sugar Free Caramel Sauce online. Alternatives include honey, sugar free syrup, or even maple syrup (you may need to adjust quantities as needed).
    • Toppings as desired. Earlier I mentioned ideas which includes sugar free chocolate chips, sugar free marshmallows, cinnamon or apple pie spice, chopped nuts, oats, granola, pretzels, sugar free candy, berries, raisins, or even cereal
    • Optional- lemon juice as needed (1-2 teaspoons) to prevent browning of the apple slices.

    How to make Sugar Free Apple Nachos.

     

    • Prepare your apples as indicated above (first washing them and then removing the core before cutting them into quarter inch slices ). If you are using lemon juice to prevent browning, place the apples in a bowl and toss them in the lemon juice. Also, if you are planning on assembling these nachos at a later time, simply store your apples in a zip top bag in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare this dish.
    • Arrange the apples on a large plate or platter.
    • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apples. Then top with the remaining ingredients before serving.
