Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F/175°C).
Wash and core the apples, then cut them into even wedges (about 8 slices per apple).
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Brush the apple wedges with the butter mixture on all sides.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring all sides are coated.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the apple wedges directly on the grill grates. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and tender with clear grill marks.
Remove the apples from the grill and let them cool slightly.
Serve the grilled apples warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent finish.
