Cooking for people

Ingredients

6 granny smith apples, plus 2 cups finely diced
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, cold
2 tbsp. brown sugar
½ oz. bourbon
½ tsp. cinnamon
vanilla bean ice cream
caramel sauce, premade or grocery store
fresh leaves of mint

Crumble

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup salted and toasted pecans, finely chopped, plus additional for garnish
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ cup white sugar
⅔ cup brown sugar
2–3 pinches kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter

1 Food Prep

Begin by dicing enough apples to equal 2 cups, setting aside 6 whole apples. Then, core and hollow the 6 whole apples, using a paring knife and spoon, and set aside.

Next, prepare the crumble by combining all the dry crumble ingredients with 1½ cups of butter until the mixture holds together, and set aside.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Hardwood Pellets Grillmaster’s Choice

Amount: 1 to 2 lb

Method: Pellet Grill

Temp: 350°F

3 The Cook

In a medium-sized cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of cold, unsalted butter, then stir in the bourbon, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the diced apples and sauté until the apples are caramelized and fork tender. Set aside to cool.
Next, pour a dollop of caramel sauce into the bottom of each cored apple, and fill it with 2 tablespoons of the sautéed apple.
Then, generously top with the crumble, covering the top of the apples.
Bake in the smoker for 15–20 minutes, or until the apple is cooked through and the crumble is golden in color.
Serve the warm apples with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and drizzle each with caramel sauce. Garnish with fresh mint and toasted pecans.
Watch them disappear!
