Heat a small saucepan to a medium heat
Add the coconut oil and the maple syrup, heat until melted and they combine easily when whisked
Turn off the heat, whisk in the peanut butter until you get a smooth caramel
Whisk in the cinnamon.

Choose lovely ripe firm apples, the best tasting apple nachos start with the best apples.
Serve leftover caramel sauce as a dip... because this caramel sauce is the best!
Pear nachos are also nice!
If you prefer to keep the sugar content lower you can absolutely skip making the caramel sauce and just drizzle the apple slices with your favourite peanut butter.
Coconut oil: Butter can be used as a substitute
Maple syrup: Honey can be used as a substitute
Peanut butter: Other nut butters such as almond butter or cashew butter can be used. You can also use sunflower seed butter or chocolate hummus for a nut free alternative.
Apples: You can use your favourite apples, I like to use crisp sweet apples such as pink lady apples, envy, eve, fuji, jazz or honey crisp apples. A tart Granny Smith apple also works well.
Toppings: I used a mix of chocolate dots, mini chocolate chips and coconut, but you can use your imagination when it comes to the sprinkles you use. Some ideas include: Granola, raisins, chopped nuts, cranberries mini marshmallows, sprinkles, hemp seeds, honey roasted sunflower seeds.
