Recipe Background

Savor the sweetness of grilled cinnamon-infused apples topped with a crunchy brown sugar crust in this delightful Grilled Apple Crisp.
It seems like you can make every kind of meal on the grill: burgers, chicken, pork chops, steaks, and hot dogs, with toasted buns for each. Your barbeque is sure to be a success! But wait, what about dessert? Surely that needs some kind of oven or stove-top? Not at all! Grilled Apple Crisp uses a cast-iron skillet and foil so you can cook up a wonderful summertime dessert without cooling down the grill. The results are a bubbling, sweet sensation filled with tender, cinnamon-infused apples and topped with a crunchy brown sugar crust. Grilled Apple Crisp is the perfect finishing touch for your cookout. Make sure you have plenty of ice cream on hand!

Ingredients

For the apples:

  • 6-8 apples peeled and cored, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

For the topping:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter cut into cubes
  • vanilla ice cream optional, to taste, for serving

Directions

  • Preheat the grill to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the apples, the sugar, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg. Let the apples sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the apples into a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Cover the skillet with foil.
  • Grill the skillet until the apples are tender and the juices are bubbling, for about 40 minutes. Check the apples halfway through.
  • About 20 minutes into grilling time, in a small bowl, mix the flour and the brown sugar together.
  • Add the butter and cut it into the flour-sugar mixture with a fork or a pastry blender until it resembles crumbs.
  • Once the apples are tender and the juices are bubbling, spoon the topping mixture over the apples.
  • Cook uncovered until the topping is lightly browned, about 15-20 minutes. You may have to increase the grill temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Transfer the skillet from the grill and allow it to cool.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
