GRILLED APPLES

Steps:

• Halve and core the apples, then either brush them with olive oil or spritz with Pam.
• Dust the halves with salt and pepper, then place cut-side down over direct heat on a hot grill. Cook with the grill covered. After about 3 to 5 minutes, the apples should have pronounced grill marks on their cut sides.
• Use tongs to flip the apples and reduce the heat under them to low or move to cooler part of grill. Close the grill and cook until the apples are just tender, about another 3 to 5 minutes.
• To serve, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the apples and offer as a side to pork, chicken or steak.
• Note: if you want a sweet option, sprinkle with cinnamon and/or nutmeg, grill about 3 minutes. Turn over, sprinkle with sugar or brown sugar, raisins and/or coconut, close and cook until tender, about another 3 minutes. Top w/ vanilla or cinnamon ice cream!

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.

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.
