Grilledapples Recipes

BAKED APPLES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Place each apple on a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Combine the remaining ingredients; spoon into center of apples. Fold foil over apples and seal tightly. , Grill, covered, over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until apples are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

GRILLED APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Add the apples to a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron skillet, filling it almost to the top. Combine the flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using your hands, press the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms a course crumble. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
• Place the skillet over indirect heat, cover the grill and cook until the apples are completely tender when pierced with a knife and the crumble is golden brown and crispy, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• (Alternatively, you can bake this in an 8-inch square cake pan in a 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.)

GRILLED CINNAMON APPLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a medium (350 F to 375 F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Clean and oil the grill grates. Core unpeeled apples and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Combine water and lemon juice in a large bowl and add apple slices. This soak will keep them from browning.
• In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt . Set aside.
• Grill the apples, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes total.
• Place apples on a large platter, sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture, and serve.

• Place 4 apple wedges in center of each piece of foil. Drizzle 2 tablespoons caramel topping over apple wedges on each piece of foil. Wrap foil securely around apples.
• Grill foil packets, seam sides up, 5 to 6 inches from medium-low heat 8 to 9 minutes or until apples are crisp-tender. Open packets carefully to avoid steam; caramel will be hot. Serve immediately.

GRILLED APPLES

• Dust the halves with salt and pepper, then place cut-side down over direct heat on a hot grill. Cook with the grill covered. After about 3 to 5 minutes, the apples should have pronounced grill marks on their cut sides.
• Use tongs to flip the apples and reduce the heat under them to low or move to cooler part of grill. Close the grill and cook until the apples are just tender, about another 3 to 5 minutes.
• To serve, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the apples and offer as a side to pork, chicken or steak.
