Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups soft cheese (e.g., brie, goat cheese, or cream cheese)
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Wash the apples thoroughly and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Remove the core from each ring using a sharp knife or an apple corer.
Brush both sides of the apple rings lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Place the apple rings on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the apples are slightly softened.
While the apples are grilling, prepare the cheese by softening it at room temperature if necessary and whisking or stirring it until smooth and spreadable.
Remove the grilled apple rings from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, spread or dollop a small amount of cheese onto the center of each apple ring.
Drizzle each piece with 1 tablespoon of honey and garnish with freshly chopped mint for extra flavor, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful appetizer, snack, or dessert.
