Grilling apples may not be as common as grilling other types of fruit, such as peaches or pineapples, but it can be a delicious and unique way to enjoy this fall favorite. So, can you grill apples? The answer is a definite yes!
Grilled apples have a slightly smoky flavor and a tender, slightly caramelized texture that pairs well with a variety of sweet and savory dishes. They can be grilled on their own as a tasty snack or dessert, or used as a topping for grilled cheese sandwiches, salads, or pork chops.
To grill apples, you will need a grill (obviously), some apples, and a little bit of oil or butter to prevent the apples from sticking to the grill. Start by preheating your grill to medium heat.
While the grill is heating up, slice your apples into 1/4 inch thick wedges and remove the cores. Here is the perfect tool to accomplish that. Brush the apples lightly with oil or melted butter, then place them on the grill.
Grill the apples for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. If you like, you can also sprinkle some cinnamon or sugar over the apples while they are grilling for an extra touch of sweetness.
Once the apples are grilled to your desired level of tenderness, remove them from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Grilled apples can be served on their own, or paired with ice cream, yogurt, or other toppings for a tasty dessert.
So there you have it – grilled apples are a delicious and unique way to enjoy this fall favorite. Give them a try the next time you fire up the grill!
