Go Big!

If you’ve ever made my apple nacho recipe, this board takes all the magic of that fruit and candy combo and makes it bigger and better. Because of fall sports and activities, we end up hosting a lot of casual gathering at our house. And cozy boards like my Fall Fondue Board and my Fall Snack Board are always big hits, but I absolutely love how casual and fun this apple dipping board is. Super kid-friendly and so easy to prepare!

So Many Ways to Dip!

My favorite thing about this board is the endless variety! The marshmallow creme, fudge and caramel sauce stay perfectly warm in small fondue pots over tea light candles so they’re the perfect temperature for dipping. I love watching everyone create their own apple treats with a mix of dips and toppings. There’s so much to choose from! Cookies, graham crackers, fresh fruit. Autumn colored sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut and toffee bits. Honestly, it’s so much fun and so delicious.

How to Make an Apple Dipping Board

  • Slice the apples and toss with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Pat dry before arranging on the board.
  • Put a pretzel stick into the top of each grape to create the grape dippers.
