Ingredients
  

2 large apples (any variety of your choice, such as Granny Smith or Fuji, sliced into thin rounds)

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain for a tangy flavor or vanilla for sweetness)

1/2 cup peanut butter (opt for smooth for easy drizzling or crunchy for added texture)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for an extra touch of sweetness)

1/4 cup granola (your favorite blend)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or finely chopped dark chocolate (for a sweet bite)

1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (for tropical flair)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warm spice)

Fresh fruit or berries for garnish (such as blueberries or strawberries, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Start by thoroughly washing the apples under running water. Using a sharp knife, slice the apples into thin rounds, ensuring to remove any seeds and core. Once prepped, arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a large serving plate or platter.

    Make the Peanut Butter Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with honey or maple syrup (if desired) and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For an easier drizzling consistency, consider warming the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.

      Assemble the Nachos: Take spoonfuls of the Greek yogurt and gently spread it over the apple slices. Aim for an even coverage, allowing the yogurt to act as a delicious base for the toppings.

        Drizzle the Peanut Butter: Utilizing a spoon or a squeeze bottle, generously drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the yogurt-topped apple slices, aiming for a beautiful pattern.

          Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the granola, mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, and shredded coconut over the nacho assembly. Add a light dusting of cinnamon if you enjoy its warming spice.

            Garnish: For an added burst of color and flavor, place fresh fruit or berries on top or around the nachos. This not only enhances the presentation but also adds a refreshing taste.

              Serve: Dig in and enjoy these delightful and nutritious nachos immediately—perfect as a dessert, snack, or even a fun breakfast alternative!
