Grilled Apple Surprise Food

GRILLED APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Add the apples to a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron skillet, filling it almost to the top. Combine the flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using your hands, press the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms a course crumble. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
• Place the skillet over indirect heat, cover the grill and cook until the apples are completely tender when pierced with a knife and the crumble is golden brown and crispy, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• (Alternatively, you can bake this in an 8-inch square cake pan in a 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.)

APPLE-CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• For the salad: Cut the cabbage around the core and julienne. Place in a large bowl and set aside. Core and julienne the apples and add them to the cabbage. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Add the scallion and celery to the cabbage/apple mixture.
• For the dressing: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, half the lime juice, vinegar, cumin, and pepper in a small bowl. Add the remaining lime juice to the cabbage/apple mixture to prevent the apples from oxidizing. Season the dressing with salt to taste. Pour over the cabbage/apple mixture and set aside. Roughly chop the parsley and mint and add to the slaw. Toss to coat and let rest several minutes for the flavors to macerate. (Slaw can be made and refrigerated up to two hours in advance.)
• Place slaw in a dish and serve.

GRILLED CINNAMON APPLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a medium (350 F to 375 F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Clean and oil the grill grates. Core unpeeled apples and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Combine water and lemon juice in a large bowl and add apple slices. This soak will keep them from browning.
• In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt . Set aside.
• Grill the apples, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes total.
• Place apples on a large platter, sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture, and serve.

GRILLED GREEN APPLES

Steps:

• Slice and core green apples. Place the apples on grill. As the apples cook, sprinkle them with sugar. After 8 minutes on grill, remove and enjoy.

GRILLED APPLE SURPRISE

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Mix first 4 ingredients until well blended; spoon into centers of apples.
• Place 1 apple on each of 6 sheets heavy-duty foil; top with rosemary. Wrap foil around apples to make packets.
• Grill 20 min. or until apples are softened. Serve topped with powdered sugar and COOL WHIP.

GRILLED APPLE AND CABBAGE SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Place the shredded cabbage in a large, heat-proof mixing bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt, then pour the mixture over the cabbage. Set a plate on top of the cabbage to weight it down. Refrigerate and leave to pickle for 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Quarter the apples and cut out the cores. Toss the apples in a bowl with the lemon juice and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the apples for 1 minute on each side to achieve nice grill marks. Set the apples aside to cool, then cut them into dice.
• When the cabbage is ready, drain it well and return it to the bowl. Fold in the grilled apples and serve.

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!
