I hesitate to really call this a recipe. It’s more of an idea of how to keep you on the healthy side of sweets as fall approaches. Not to mention it’s super quick and easy, even with the pumpkin caramel sauce. We have a lot going on in our family right now, both not so great stuff and some potentially exciting things. Because of this, time is a huge factor. Simplifying things, and being okay that everything isn’t perfect, are both also really important. Read this post that my awesome blogger friend Kathy of Happy Healthy Life just posted about this topic, it’s a good one.

This isn’t my best photography, I shot it much quicker than usual. And I am perfectly fine with that, because balance is what life is all about. So these easy vegan apple nachos are here. And they are delicious, so hopefully some of you can woo your kids into thinking you kick mom butt with them like I did! Side note, I don’t shoot kids, only food, but I just had to include this hilarious shot I took of them in the moment. They seriously were looking at me like “Don’t bother us, we’re eating. Scram.”

Adjust the recipe for however many people you have. The pumpkin caramel yields about 1 cup so you will have leftovers, but it keeps well in the fridge or you can even freeze it.

Baby/toddler food idea: Great snack for little ones who are able to eat raw apples.

  11. This looks like such a great fall snack! When I was a kid, I loved apple slices dipped in caramel. But of course, your pumpkin caramel is a world away from that mass produced kind sold in tubs!

    I just read the post you linked in here and really enjoyed it – I think so many of us can relate and I’m learning that perfectionism can often times steal the joy out of living. I hope everything is ok with you and your family – fingers crossed for the potentially exciting things! Big hugs, mama!! ??

  16. I remember this pumpkin caramel sauce from last year! So creamy dreamy! Great idea to drizzle it over apple slices with all the fixin’s. Yes, I’m sure my kids would think I kick mom butt if I made this for them! Definitely more indulgent than the apple slices with peanut butter I usually give them. 🙂
