Grilled Cinnamon Apples

🍎 Grilled Cinnamon Apples
(Warm, tender, and caramelized — the perfect grilled treat!)

Grilled cinnamon apples are a simple yet delicious dessert (or side) that brings out the natural sweetness of apples with a touch of smoky caramel flavor. The combination of brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon creates a glaze that turns golden and sticky as it grills. Great on its own or topped with ice cream!

🕒 Total Time: 20 minutes

🍽️ Serves: 4

🍎 Ingredients

4 firm apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith)
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Optional toppings:

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Crushed pecans or granola
Caramel drizzle

🔥 Instructions

Preheat the Grill:
- Heat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F / 175°C).
- Lightly oil the grates or use a grill pan for easier handling.
Prepare the Apples:
- Wash, core, and slice apples into ½-inch thick rings or wedges.
- (If grilling directly on grates, leave the skin on to help them hold shape.)
Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, vanilla, and nutmeg.
Coat the Apples:
- Brush both sides of each apple slice generously with the glaze.
Grill the Apples:
- Place slices on the grill (cut side down).
- Grill 3–5 minutes per side, until tender and lightly charred, brushing with extra glaze as they cook.
Serve Warm:
- Transfer to a serving plate.
- Drizzle with remaining glaze and top with ice cream, whipped cream, nuts, or caramel.

🍯 Variations

Foil Packets:
Place apple slices, glaze, and a sprinkle of oats or nuts in foil. Seal and grill for 10–12 minutes — easy cleanup and extra juicy!
Stuffed Apples:
Core whole apples, fill with brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and raisins, wrap in foil, and grill 15–20 minutes until tender.

✅ Choose firm apples so they don’t fall apart when grilled.

✅ Add a pinch of sea salt to the glaze for balance.
✅ For extra smoky flavor, add applewood chips to the grill.

💡 Tips for Perfect Grilled Pears

✅ Choose firm, ripe pears — too soft and they’ll fall apart.
✅ Use a basting brush to coat evenly with glaze.
✅ Try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a splash of rum to the glaze for depth.

✅ You can grill them in a cast-iron skillet if you prefer not to place them directly on grates
