Ingredients:
- 4 baking apples
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Apples: Peel the apples, but do not core them. |
| 2 | Skewer the Apples: Center each apple on a rotisserie spit. |
| 3 | Coat with Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Brush the apples generously with this mixture, ensuring they are well coated. |
| 4 | Grill the Apples: Grill the apples on the spit, rotating frequently and basting with the remaining butter mixture. Continue grilling for 30-35 minutes or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized. |
| 5 | Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the apples from the spit, then quarter them and remove the cores. Serve warm, preferably with a dollop of whipped cream flavored with a few drops of almond extract for an extra special touch! |
Tips:
- Use baking apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn for the best results. Their firm texture holds up well to grilling.
- If you don’t have a rotisserie spit, you can use skewers or even place the apples directly on the grill grate, turning them occasionally.
- Feel free to customize the spices according to your preference. Add a dash of cloves or allspice for a more aromatic flavor.
- For a decadent twist, drizzle some caramel sauce over the warm apples before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave or a small skillet for a quick and delicious treat.
Indulge in the warm, comforting flavors of Apples on a Spit, and savor the taste of autumn with every bite! 🍂✨
