Raise your hand if you like caramel apples? Yeah, me too! There is a little candy and ice cream shop back in my hometown that had the very best Candy Apples. I say "candy apples" because these things were monstrous. Coated with different candies, my favorite being toffee.
But that's not what I made. As you can see. My rugrats were wanting a snack. So instead of giving them apple slices, I once again went over the top! I had a vision that these would be easier to eat than caramel apples. They're not. They are gooey, and messy and totally delicious. Maybe next time I would eat them with a fork. But it was all good, cause the kids ate it outside. And rinsed with the hose. And probably took a drink of water out of the hose (gasp)
This served a crowd of 7 people, with a few slices left over. Enjoy!

How fun! And so beautifully arranged! I can see how it could get a little messy, but that's all part of eating caramel apples, too :)
I am totally raising my hand! I ♥ Caramel Apples.. In Nacho form is pure genius! Love it!
These apple nachos look so colourful...never thought of having apples as nachos! Great!!
WOW...These sound seriously AMAZING!!!! I'm your newest follower!

OHhh my Aimee! I never knew that I could lick the lipstick off my lips by looking at your blog! Cups Up! xoxo
My daughter gets all giddy just when I say apple slices, so she would be over-the-top-excited if I made this...fantastic!
Oh my! I am drooling just looking at those delicious apples! How yummy!

Oh my gosh, that's a sugar high for sure.
My name is Ali and I am from the Water Services Department.
I was forwarded this address by a concerned reader: Miss A. Busybody in regards to the dangers of drinking out of hoses after apple consumption.
Danger #1 - Bacteria growth in warm standing water. Let the water get nice and cold before drinking.
Danger #2 - Lead passed from the hose to the hose-drinker.
Please be advised that a second or two worth of a cool sip from the house is NO JOKING MATTER. You might as well send your kids to much on the old paint in your closets.
Please be advised that we will follow up with this situation should any children be found frolicking and hose sipping in your yard in the future.
Stuffily,
Me
Oh my,

These look amazing and since my hubby is gluten free he can eat them too! That makes me VERY happy! Also, I drank out of a hose all the time growing up! I've had no ill effects from it! Drink away! :)
Mmmm...messy, but divine! And beautiful presentation too!
I definitely need to try this!
Thank you so much for sharing it on "A Little Birdie Told Me..." Tuesday!

Everything I love (except the evaporated milk - not sure I've ever had it) is in this! Looks delicious and tooth-rottening at the same time :D

Hopping over from Tasty Tuesday on FTLOB. I am definitely following you... ^__^
these are perfection!
Oh, yum!!
You are the most creativest (is that a word? lol) mommy in the world!
What a great idea! I would never have thought of this, but I will be trying this with the fall apple crop. Thanks for sharing!
Looks yummo! I went to a party once that had the best apple platter ever!! Take a block of lowfat cream cheese put in the middle of the platter. Drizzle with caramel and butterscotch topping and sprinkle with granola! To die for!!
I forgot to mention to place assorted sliced apples all around it :)
There are dangers to drinking out a hose - who knew??
What a cute spin on nachos!! These look so delicious and great to take to a get together!

Oh my gosh...those look ridiculously amazing!!!!! and ps.....my kids drank from the hose again this year....don't tell!
I love your recipe, what great party food. Thanks for linking up at bacon Time.
Oh my gosh! This looks divine. I definitely would not have left any slices behind.
I am going to feature these on Thursday afternoon at Bacon Time :)
This is amazing! I love your blog. Followed!
What a great idea! And it looks so pretty!
I just bought pears that I need to serve to large crowd on Sunday after church. I think I will use this recipe! It looks really great! Thanks for posting it!
This is an awesome idea!! Love it!
First...these look amazing. I will definitely be trying this in the future.
Secondly... is the one comment for real about the dangers of water hose drinking?? Who HASN'T drank from a water hose. Geesh.
How long do you think this dish can sit out before the apples start to brown?
@anonymous...if you want, you can toss the apples with a little bit of lemon juice to keep them from browning. Otherwise, we eat it right away!
All I can say is WOW! This is a wonderful idea and perfect for entertaining guests!
I made this as a snack for my kids and me - thank you!
