Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using an outdoor grill, ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
- Wash the apple thoroughly under running water. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
- Core the apple using an apple corer or a small knife.
- Cut the apple into evenly sized cubes, roughly 1-inch pieces, to ensure they cook evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Stir until they are well mixed.
- Place the apple cubes in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple pieces. Toss or shake until the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Thread the apple cubes onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10-15 minutes before using, to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Place the apple skewers on the preheated grill.
- Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- Serve the grilled apple and cinnamon skewers warm. They’re perfect on their own or can be paired with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Choose a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure the pieces hold their shape during grilling.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- For an added layer of flavor, consider brushing the apple pieces with a bit of melted butter before sprinkling on the sugar and cinnamon.
- If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan or even your oven's broiler to achieve similar results.
- Serve the skewers with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
