POPCORNERS® Sea Salt adds textural variety and depth of flavor to the classic combination of caramel sauce and apples!
Ingredients
How to make it
1
Add sugar and corn syrup to medium heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat. Without stirring, cook for 8 to 12 minutes or until sugar is melted and mixture is uniformly golden brown. If sugar is browning unevenly, gently swirl pan.
2
Carefully pour in 1/4 cup cream (cream will bubble vigorously when added). Whisk slowly until blended. Bring back to a boil, stirring occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened slightly.
3
Remove caramel from heat. Add butter, vanilla and sea salt. Let cool completely or serve warm. Caramel will thicken as it cools.
4
In microwave-safe bowl, stir together chocolate chips, remaining cream and coconut oil. Microwave on MEDIUM, stirring every 30 seconds, for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth and melted.
5
Core and thinly slice apples. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Lightly crush POPCORNERS® Sea Salt in a resealable bag using rolling pin.
6
Arrange half the apples on serving dish, and layer with half the caramel, half the chocolate mixture and half the crushed POPCORNERS® Sea Salt. Repeat layers 1 more time, ending with POPCORNERS® Sea Salt and pomegranate seeds. Serve with remaining caramel and chocolate sauce on the side.
Tips & Tricks
Store leftover caramel sauce in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Reheat in microwave for 15 to 20 seconds to serve warm.
To prepare apple slices 1 to 2 hours before serving, completely submerge in bowl of water mixed with juice of 1 to 2 lemons.
Remove from lemon water before serving and pat dry.
Garnish nachos also with sprinkles, candies, toasted nuts, chopped dried fruit or toasted coconut.
