Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced

1 cup cinnamon sugar (1 cup granulated sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

½ cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)

1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare Apples: Toss the thinly sliced apples in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.

      Coat Apples: Spread the apple slices evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not overlap. Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over the top.

        Bake: Bake the apple slices in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they start to soften and become slightly golden around the edges.

          Crisp Them Up: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the apples cool for a few minutes. Then, turn the oven to broil.

            Add Mini Marshmallows: Once the apples have cooled slightly, sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly on top. Place the baking sheet back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully until the marshmallows are golden and puffed.

              Assemble Nachos: Once the marshmallows are toasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Layer the crispy baked apple slices on a large platter or individual plates.

                Drizzle with Caramel: Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top, followed by a sprinkle of chopped pecans.

                  Serve: If desired, serve with whipped cream on the side for dipping or dolloping on top. Enjoy your warm, gooey, and crispy apple cinnamon nachos!
