How to Make Apple Cannonballs

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. Core 4-6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) using an apple corer or a paring knife. Leave about 1/2 inch of apple at the bottom to prevent the filling from falling out.
  4. Place each apple on a separate sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Spoon the brown sugar mixture evenly into the center of each cored apple.
  6. Place a pat (about 1 teaspoon) of butter on top of each apple filling.
  7. Wrap the apples tightly in foil, crimping the edges to seal.
  8. Place the foil-wrapped apples on the preheated grill. Cover the grill and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbly. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
  9. Carefully remove from grill and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
