Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped apple (about 1 small apple)
- Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping
- 1/4 cup granola
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350°F, ensuring it is ready for cooking.
- Prepare Foil Packets: Tear off two pieces of aluminum foil, each about 8 inches square, to create a sealed packet for grilling.
- Add Apples to Foil: Place the chopped apples in the center of one piece of foil.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon: Optionally, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the apples for added warmth and spice.
- Drizzle Caramel: Pour 2 tablespoons of caramel ice cream topping evenly over the apples.
- Add Granola Topping: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of granola on top of the caramel-coated apples.
- Seal the Packet: Place the second piece of foil over the filled one and roll the edges together tightly to seal and prevent leaks.
- Grill the Packet: Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully open the foil packet, being mindful of the hot steam, and serve the warm dessert immediately.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a more balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- Adjust the caramel amount to your preferred sweetness.
- The granola adds a crunchy texture but can be substituted with chopped nuts if desired.
- Be careful when opening the foil packet to avoid steam burns.
- This dessert can also be prepared in a campfire or oven using the same foil packet method.
