I started using powdered peanut butter about a year ago and it has become a staple ingredient in so many of my snacks and desserts. It is a nice option to have if you are currently on a weight loss journey and need to watch your calorie intake.

We all know too much peanut butter and our jeans tend to get a little too snug. But by all means if you are not concerned with calories use the real stuff in this sauce!

My favorite nut butter to use in place of powder is none other than She’s Nuts! Cinnamon Cashew Butter.

Wowza, the smooth texture and creaminess of the cashew butter in this caramel sauce is ridiculous! Yum!

I stack the apples up high like typical nachos for my kid’s snack, but choose to layer them on a platter for guests like the photo below.

Notes

To make this recipe using She's Nuts Nut Butter or regular peanut butter simply add 2 Tbsp of your favorite nut butter in place of the powdered peanut butter. Depending on the brand of nut butter you use, you may want to start with 1/8 tsp of sea salt and add the other 1/8 if you need more "salted" flavor.
Experiment with sprinkling some extra sea salt on top of your nachos if you would like an even greater salty and sweet combination!

  1. I just tried this, and it was very thick right away, so much that it doesn’t pour. Are the proportions correct? 1/4 c sugar and 2 tablespoons water?

    • Hi Mary, I am sorry it did not turn out well for you. Yes, the proportions are correct. Did you boil the mixture? If so, do not boil the sugar mixture as it will turn into a caramel that is too thick for this recipe. I actually just had this happen with my Eggnog French Toast Bake, so I know that the coconut sugar and water mixture gets thick quickly especially if it is overheated.

  2. I can’t believe it took me this long to try these! Why don’t I just trust you blindly, Sammi?! These are SOOO yummy. I think I would take your advice and sprinkle a little extra salt on top next time. I shared the recipe with my sister in law as soon as I ate it, because she’s a big coconut sugar fan. Thanks again!

    • Hey girl! I totally agree, a little extra salt does these nachos good πŸ˜‰ You will have to let me know what your sweet s-i-l has to say after trying this apple deliciousness. Thanks for your comment, Johanna, it made my day! HUGS!

  3. This sounds like a yummy snack idea. Going to try it soon.

  4. Finally!!! I have a jar of PB2 that is about half full and I ran out of ideas with the picky eaters I have … this is brilliant πŸ™‚

    • Yay! Yes, try it and see what your kids think. Mine went crazy over the stuff. Who am I kidding, my husband and I did too! πŸ™‚ Thanks for stopping by and good luck!!

  5. This looks SO good! Though, I don’t eat apples. Do you think the recipe would taste okay topped on pears? Trying to think of a diff. fruit alternative! (And this is the first I’ve heard of powdered peanut butter!!! So cool!) Thanks for sharing all your amazing recipes! I’m always curious to see what you will come up with next! =)

    • Exactly, Corinne! Minus the chocolate chips it really is super healthy…but a little chocolate never hurt anyone πŸ˜‰ I can’t wait for you to try them!

  11. These “nachos” look SOOOOOOO delicious! Thank you for sharing them with the Healthy Living Link Party! I’ve pinned this to make later. Can’t wait!
