How to Make Boy Scout Apples

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Wash and core the apples. Peel a thin strip of skin around the middle of each apple to prevent bursting during grilling.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash together the softened butter, sugar, jam, cinnamon, and salt (if using) until well combined.
  4. Fill each apple cavity generously with the butter-jam mixture.
  5. Wrap each apple individually in a large sheet of aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet.
  6. Place the foil-wrapped apples on the preheated grill.
  7. Close the grill lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Carefully remove the apples from the grill and let them cool slightly before unwrapping.
  9. Enjoy your warm, delicious Grilled Boy Scout Apples! Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
