Crazy delicious: how to make apple pie nachos
Do you also dream of nachos with a thick layer of cheese? Or nachos todos with minced meat, red pepper and guacamole? Then you’re exactly the right type for these apple pie nachos. They’re sweet nachos covered with a layer of fried apples and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
This apple situation is most reminiscent of the apple pockets that McDonald’s had on the menu in the 1990s. They were a kind of cheese soufflé filled with chunky applesauce. Incredibly hot and incredibly delicious.
Apple pieces or applesauce
For these apple pie nachos, use firm, tart apples such as Elstar or Pink Lady. Cooking apples, which you use for apple pie and applesauce, are too soft, so you’ll end up with less of those lovely apple pieces on your nachos and more of a sauce. If you don’t have any other apples, don’t worry and just use whatever is in the fruit bowl. Even with applesauce, these apple pie nachos will probably taste amazing.
How to make apple pie nachos
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray.
- Cut the tortillas into triangles. Put them in a bowl and add 75 grams of melted butter, the sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Stir until all the tortilla triangles are coated with 150 grams of sugar and butter.
- Place the tortilla pieces on the baking tray and bake them in the oven until golden brown and cooked through. This takes about 6 minutes; turn the pieces halfway through. If all the pieces don’t fit on the baking tray at once, you’ll have to bake them in batches.
- Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into cubes. Sprinkle them with lemon juice, then mix with 50 grams of sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon.
- Put the remaining butter in a frying pan. Add the apple pieces and fry them until they soften.
- Now place a layer of tortillas on a large platter. Distribute the apples over them. Then add another layer of tortillas, followed by another layer of apples, and continue like this. Decorate the mountain of apple pie nachos with nuts, caramel sauce and whipped cream.
