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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F/190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Lightly coat the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Brush the apple slices or wedges on both sides with the prepared glaze.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
