Apple Chip Nachos With Date Caramel Recipes

CARAMEL APPLE DESSERT NACHOS

Steps:

• Mix the cream cheese, brown sugar and lemon zest and juice in a bowl until smooth. Transfer to a plastic bag and snip the corner to make about a 1/4-inch opening. Set aside.
• Add the caramels and 1 1/2 teaspoons water to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the caramels are melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Arrange the apple slices fanned out and overlapping on a plate. Squeeze the cream cheese-lemon sauce on top. Drizzle the warm caramel over the apples and cream cheese sauce. Garnish with sprinkles and potato chips if using and serve immediately.

APPLE CHIP NACHOS WITH DATE CARAMEL

Steps:

• Step 1. Make the date caramel in advance. If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before adding to the recipe. Add the dates, warm water, and maple syrup to a high speed blender and process until perfectly smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed for thinner caramel. If your caramel gets too thin, add in another date or two to thicken. Refrigerate until ready for use.
• Step 2. To make your apple chip nachos, add apple chips to a plate and top with a generous amount of date caramel. Top with slivered almonds, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. Serve immediately.
• Step 3. Enjoy!
• Step 4. Store leftover date caramel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
