Grilled Caramel Apples
Ingredients
Apples
- 4 large granny smith apples, cored and cut into thick slices
- cooking spray, for lightly coating apples
Topping
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup salted peanuts, shelled
Equipment
- Grill
Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill on medium-high heat.
- Using cooking spray, lightly grease both sides of each apple slice. Be careful not to over-grease.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place apple slices on a plate. Pour caramel sauce over apples evenly.
- In a food processor, process peanuts until they are finely chopped. Add to top of caramel apples.
