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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
