If you follow me on Instagram and Tik Tok, then you know I went apple picking recently with my family. So, I have been doing an apple series and sharing recipes where apples are the star of the recipe. This is the last recipe of the series and these apple pie nachos did not disappoint. They are simple and easy to make and the best part of this dish is the bourbon infused whipped cream.

Directions to Make Bourbon Whipped Cream
1. Add heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer or hand mixer with whisk attachment. Use the whisk attachment, and beat on low speed for 2-3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and is incorporated into the heavy cream.
2. Next, increase the speed to medium for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the whipped cream begins to form soft peaks. Turn off the mixer.
3. Pour in the bourbon and vanilla, and continue to mix another 1-3 minutes until stiff peaks form.
