Apple Nachos

Do you not love this weather? This is my favorite kind of day. Randy is cleaning out drawers and closets and I am in the kitchen baking. I have made a fresh apple cake with Praline Frosting (yes it is already on the blog) and it is just the best. I always have to save some of the frosting for Cora who likes to eat it as pralines. Actually, I have used this same frosting recipe for pralines because it is a never fail, even on these damp sticky days, when it is supposidly not the best weather for making candy. But……this always turns out and when it is hot you pour it over the warm cake that you have poked holes in…….wait….where am I…I am suppose to be talking about Apple Nachos, this weather just makes me baking crazy. These little treats are easy, yummy and the kids can help make them and you can sit down to watch a movie and not be putting away a million calories. They are just so good and such an easy and quick treat.
