Ingredients for Baked Apples On The Grill

  • Raisins
  • Flaked Coconut
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to Make Baked Apples On The Grill

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat or oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Cut 4 large apples (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji) in half and remove the core, leaving a small well in the center.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional), and 2 tablespoons butter, melted.
  4. Place each apple half cut-side up on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Spoon the brown sugar mixture evenly into the center of each apple half.
  6. Dot each apple with 1 teaspoon of butter.
  7. Fold the foil over the apples, crimping the edges to create a sealed packet.
  8. For grilling: Place the foil packets directly on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender. For baking: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  9. Carefully open the foil packets, allowing steam to escape. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
