Looking for a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat? Meet Apple Pie Nachos, the ultimate self-serve treat that combines the cozy flavors of apple pie with the crisp, buttery crunch of Sugar Bowl Bakery Mini Palmiers.
Perfect for parties, family nights, or anytime you want to impress without the stress, this dessert station lets everyone build their own sweet creation.
What You’ll Need
• Sugar Bowl Bakery Mini Palmiers – light, flaky, and perfectly golden (found at your local grocery store or club store, usually near the baked goods)
• 4 freshly diced apples (we love mixing Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for tart-sweet balance, add a squeeze of lemon to prevent browning)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
• Warm caramel sauce
• Crushed peanuts or granola
• Mini chocolate chips mixed with a crushed health bar
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to top it off
How to Build Your Apple Pie Nachos
1. Lay the Base
Start with a generous handful of Mini Palmiers. Their delicate layers and subtle sweetness make the perfect “chips” for this dessert nacho platter.
2. Pile on the Apples
Add diced apples for a refreshing crunch and that classic apple-pie flavor.
3. Drizzle Away
Pour on warm caramel sauce (or chocolate sauce if you’re feeling indulgent).
4. Sprinkle the Fun
Add granola, nuts, or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
5. Finish Strong
Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate treat.
