Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or oil for grill
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F/190°C).
While the grill is preheating, wash and core the apples, then slice them into rings about 1/2-inch thick or into wedges depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to create a glaze.
Lightly coat the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
Brush the apple slices or wedges on both sides with the prepared glaze.
Place the apples on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the apples are slightly tender and caramelized.
Remove the apples from the grill and serve warm. These are delicious on their own or paired with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
