APPLE PIE NACHOS

I took one look at the RSC ingredients and saw a homemade classic...but I didn't want the same old, same old. This dessert is fairly easy to put together and after little more than 30 minutes, you've got delicious warm apples with crispy cinnamon crunch, all topped with cool whipped cream and a bit of crunch to boot! Enjoy!

Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tortillas
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups vegetable oil
2 baking apples, diced into 1/2 inch pieces (I used braeburn)
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
1 ounce Amaretto
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil until it "speaks" when you sprinkle water into it. Cut each tortilla in half, then cut each half into 4 wedges.
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish with another paper towel lined dish right next to it.
  • Put 2-4 tortilla wedges into the hot oil and cook until light brown on each side, flipping only once (this should take about 1 minute). Remove immediately from oil one by one and completely cover in cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides before placing on towel lined dish to cool and drain.
  • When finished with crispas, toss together diced apples and lemon juice.
  • Put apples, lemon juice and amaretto into a medium-sized skillet and cook over medium heat until apples just start to get tender and barely break down.
  • Add brown sugar and stir well until evenly distributed. Remove pan from heat.
  • Beat heavy whipping cream (works best in a chilled bowl) just until stiff.
  • Gradually add sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • On a plate or platter, set out each crispa individually. Top with a teaspoon or more of apple mixture, then a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 inches flour tortillas, cut into quarters
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
3 baking apples, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces (I used Macoun)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
1 ounce Amaretto or 1 ounce cognac
4 ounces fat-free cool whip
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cinnamon and sugar together (I use my Pampered Chef sugar shaker for this). Spread tortilla quarters on cooking sheet or jelly roll pan and spray with cooking spray, shake cinnamon/sugar over tortillas, then spray lightly again. Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes or until crisp, but not burnt.
  • While crispas bake, put apples and amaretto into a medium-sized skillet and cook over medium heat until apples just start to get tender and barely break down.
  • Add brown sugar and stir well until evenly distributed. Remove pan from heat.
  • Put 4 crispas on a plate. Top with a tablespoon or more of apple mixture, then a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your nachos a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Don't overcook the apples. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your nachos.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. There are endless possibilities, so get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Apple pie nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover apples, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give apple pie nachos a try!
