Grilled apple crumble or crisp as some call it may sound like a strange concept, but it can actually be a delicious and unique twist on a classic dessert. If you’re a fan of apple crumble and love the smoky flavor that grilling imparts on food, then you’ll definitely want to give this recipe a try.
To make grilled apple crumble, you’ll need to start by prepping your apples. Peel and slice your apples into thin wedges, and then toss them in a mixture of lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Set the apples aside while you prepare the crumble topping. Check out this apple slicer.
For the crumble topping, you’ll need to mix together some flour, oats, sugar, and butter until it forms a crumbly mixture. Set aside a small portion of this mixture to use as a topping later on.
Next, heat up your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the apple wedges for a few minutes on each side until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the apples from the grill and place them in a foil packet, along with a generous sprinkle of the crumble topping.
Close the foil packet and place it back on the grill. Grill the apple crumble packet for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the topping is crispy and golden brown.
Serve the grilled apple crumble hot, with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top. The smoky flavor of the grilled apples pairs perfectly with the crunchy, sweet crumble topping, creating a truly unique and delicious dessert experience.
