Ingredients

Apples

• 4 apples granny smith or fuji cored and cut into thick slices
• cooking spray for lightly coating apples

Topping

• 1/3 cup salted peanuts shelled
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Preheat outdoor grill on medium-high heat.
2. Using cooking spray, lightly grease both sides of each apple slice. Be careful not to over-grease.
3. Place each apple slice on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the bottom of each slice has dark grill marks. Flip and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a heavy saucepan add sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar turns into a golden brown liquid. Continue to cook and stir for 5-10 minutes, or until sugar is a syrup-like consistency.
5. Place apple slices on a plate. Pour caramel sauce over apples evenly.
6. In a food processor, process peanuts until they are finely chopped. Add to top of caramel apples.
