Baked Apples On The Grill Recipes

CAMPFIRE BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• You'll need 12 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 10 inches long. If using a campfire, move back large burning embers to expose hot coals -- oak coals are best.
• Prepare each apple by first cutting a top-shaped "plug" out of the stem-end with a sharp paring knife. Keep the plugs to re-insert later. Leave the stems on if you wish.
• Use a butter knife or the paring knife to carve out all of the core and seeds. This is the trickiest part. Do not go through the bottom of the apple but if you do, it's no big deal.
• Into each apple insert 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. That should pretty much fill the void. Then, re-insert the top plug and double-wrap each apple in aluminum foil. (Some folks rub the outside of the apple with butter but I never bother to do this).
• Lay the apples on the coals and, after 5 minutes, roll them over so that the second side can bake. Roll them out of the coals after 10 minutes, let them cool for a bit and serve.
• You can make sort of a primitive bowl out of the aluminum foil wrappers and eat the apples with a spoon.
• TIP: Don't puncture the aluminum foil with a fork to turn the apples because all your butter will leak out! Use a pair of tongs if you have a big pair.

BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Scoop out the core from top of the apple, leaving a well. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter. Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender.

GRILLED (BAKED) APPLES

Steps:

• Fill the core of the apple with brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Wrap the apple in a large piece of heavy duty foil, twisting the extra foil into a tail for a handle.
• Place the apple in the coals of a campfire or barbecue and let cook 5 to 10 minutes, until softened.
• Remove and unwrap, being careful of the hot sugar.

BAKED APPLES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Place each apple on a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 12" square).
• Combine the remaining ingredients and spoon into the center of the apples.
• Fold the foil over the apples and seal tightly.
• Grill, covered, over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until apples are tender.
• This could be baked in the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
