Recipe: Apple Nachos

October 22, 2013

I found this recipe a couple years ago and it’s definitely one of my quick, “go-to” snacks when I want something crunchy, yet sweet! I love making this when we have people over. I even did it one night when my hubby had guys over for a game. Yes–they loved it!

There are so many variations you can have with this and I almost always have these ingredients on hand! When you are dying for your sweet fix at night, try to whip this up instead!

Apple Nachos

Ingredients:

♦ 1-4 apples (depending on how many will be eating)

♦ Toppings: (have fun with these!)

– shredded coconut

– chocolate chips

– peanut butter (almond butter etc)

– sliced almonds

– pecans

– anything else!

Thinly slice your apple. (I use a mandoline) Arrange on a large plate. Top with your favorite goodies! (When I use peanut butter or any nut butter, I warm it up a bit and put it in a small baggie, cut the tip and drizzle. You can do the same with chocolate) Place in the fridge if you have added anything warm so that it hardens a bit. Take out and eat like a nacho after 5 minutes or so!

    This looks really good, I think I might make this for my daughter who’s birthday is coming up. A perfect fall treat that she’ll love.

    How do you keep the apples from turning brown if I want to take it to a party or make ahead ahead of time?

      I think you can spritz some lemon or lime juice over them to help that. Google it as I don’t know all the details!

      I make mine and eat them right away so I don’t have to worry with it! HA!

        Thanks. When I am cutting up apples to put in the refrigerator, I usually dip them in pineapple juice and they taste wonderful, but I was afraid that the flavors would conflict with the other flavors i.e. peanut butter and chocolate chips. We take snacks to our home group and it looks like a healthy dish that I could take. I’ll try it with the pineapple and see how it does.

          Whenever I make a fruit platter ahead of time for a party, I always dip the fruit in lemon or lime juice. The fruit doesn’t taste like the juice at all. So in this case, I wouldn’t think it would conflict with the peanut butter or chocolate chips. But I’ve never made this before either.

            You can also dip fruit in sprite or 7-up.

      You can also use apple juice to keep apples from browning! Even though most people say lemon or lime juice won’t change the flavor of the apples, I notice a difference, so I use apple juice.

There are things that once served us for a season There are things that once served us for a season that no longer do yet we are holding onto them. There are some things we’ve stopped fighting for that still need our energy because we are tired and have forgotten what’s on the line.

My encouragement to you to tonight is to put to prayer the “thing” that came to mind and wrestle down what God is asking of you.  Sure- we CAN keep living like we are, but we want to be WISE women (& men)...”pure,  peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17) Father: give us discernment to know when to hold on and when to let go! 🤍
“I don’t know” is the response I get to aski “I don’t know” is the response I get to asking what the next step is when someone comes to me with a relationship, health, faith, career or leadership question. Now to be fair, true...sometimes people are truly asking for help discerning that next right thing but many times I find they are really asking for me for confirmation.

Some of you are sitting stagnant because you keep telling yourself that you don’t know. I think you do know, you are just afraid of the implications and uncertainty of that decision. To be expected. Moving from comfort never comes without risk. 

I’m just here to tell some of you that it’s time. You’ve got enough info and have prayed about it long enough to move forward. When you know, you know. 👊🏻
There is great power in letting go and trusting Go There is great power in letting go and trusting God. This doesn’t come easy, so if you can’t say this yet about the situation at hand, keep bringing it to Him in prayer! 🤍

“Those who know your name trust in you because you have not abandoned those who seek you, Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭9:10‬
“Why are you looking for the living among the de “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men. “He is not here, but he has risen!” Luke‬ ‭24:5-6‬

What a day to rejoice! My Savior and reason for everything is alive! Happy Easter, friends! 🤍🤍🤍
Just because you didn’t choose it doesn’t mean Just because you didn’t choose it doesn’t mean that God won’t use it. The imperfect world weaves its way in and out of our stories. Feel the feels, then look it straight in the face and believe for something more. #presson #redemption
“Soft and fiery, beautifully fierce..” I’ve “Soft and fiery, beautifully fierce..”

I’ve always had a fire in me. I can’t explain it except that I knew I was always “more” than the season, place & age I was in. Not in a prideful way, but in a “I want to change the world” sort of way. For most of my life I’ve tried to push that down as strong, “facts-based”, articulate, independent women were not applauded in the faith, cultural and “general” worlds I lived. But pulling back and softening my “edge” only lead me to a dull, apathetic, and boring life. 

God, in His grace, has taken me on a journey over the last few years to free me to who He created me to be...which included keeping my edge and fierceness. Along with that this, He’s grown my capacity to carry a soft and tender side deep down just as equally. It’s taken work. Getting gritty. Facing hard things. Grief. Tears. But all that has made me into the woman I know God has been building all these years. 

I never felt like everyone else like but not because I wanted to be like everyone..but just because I never knew anyone like me who modeled what I felt God planted deep in me at an early age. One of my passions now is to be that woman for other young women who feel the same burn as me, and to help them take that fire, balance it with tenderness, truth and love & rock the worlds in which they live.

The photographer of this pic referenced me as a “leader of leaders” and while I knew I was born a leader, I never considered that maybe this great intensity and strength inside was meant for something even more. What a gift and I hold that so humbly. Grateful for all of you who have made me into the woman I am today on my 41st birthday. Let’s do this thing. 🔥 #firestarter #flamethrower

I had the privilege of baptizing my sweet friend G I had the privilege of baptizing my sweet friend Gracie Sunday at church. One of my greatest joys is walking with people through their life, teaching, encouraging & loving on them as they learn to make their faith their own. (Aka: discipleship)

There is nothing- and I mean nothing- like someone sitting across from you hungry to eat whatever you dish them. A sponge for truth and a pure heart to just listen... that was Gracie.

Every wed night during the community group hubs and I lead, we would pick a topic, or review the sermon or the group would ask a question, or I would go on one of my “holy spiritual Clare tangents” 😂 and right then & there with the teaching & encouragement from other mature believers in our group, is where part of her growth in Christ came. (We often would split up guys/girls during this time)

Wed. Nights were just part of Gracie’s growth. Slide through the pics and you will see the larger perspective of a group of women surrounding Gracie and me. These are her “tribe”.. women who texted every day about what they were reading in the word. Prayer requests. Life updates. They became Gracie’s daily lifeline while I came in as a weekly jolt. 😉

You know who benefited from this? All of us. In different ways, we all grew and were encouraged. You know what else grew? Our church because we were unified from within. 

Not only do we learn from one another in community, but we learn ourselves best too. Scary? Heck yeah! But so vital. We need one another..to cry with. Ask Questions (Run dating app profiles past 😂) but.. to celebrate together too!  There is nothing like it. Dive in! Let’s gooo!! #lovegodloveothers
Be it our silence or reading between the lines, we Be it our silence or reading between the lines, we all need someone who is able to see more than what we outwardly portray. I’m thankful for friends who are willing to work with me through what I’m not saying and many times don’t REALIZE I’m not saying.

Tag ya girl who does this for you and hey while you’re at it, check in on that friend that you are sensing needs you to speak some love, truth and encouragement! 🤍 Your gut is probably right!
