Grilled Apple Slices

[doojer]

Sorry, no pics. :blush: My camera is a little out of commission. :sad2: But, I tried something new today and thought I 'd share-- I'm sure it's been done a million times, but it was a first for me.

Take as many granny smith apples as you want and cut them into 1/2 inch slices, crosswise. leave the core and the seeds in there. Each apple does like 5 slices or so. I seasoned only one side with cumin, black pepper, smoked paprika, some chili pepper (not chili powder-- just powdered chili-- like cayenne, only milder) and a little kosher salt.

Then, I threw them on the medium heat section of the grill-- spiced side up-- and cooked them until they were browned on the bottom and starting to soften. Then I flipped em and finished them off. They came out awesome! Soft but still a little crisp, sweet but salty, a little kick from the cumin/paprika/pepper and a little smokey from the grill. Great side dish for pork!

I think it would be better with sugar and cinnamon : ):wink:

I am adding this to my list for the summer! Thanks doojer.:)No problem-- I'm thinking they would be good on hamburgers. Maybe with a little bleu cheese. :yup:

I think it would be better with sugar and cinnamon : ):wink:Yeah, that is good... I've done that a bunch of times (sometimes I add Jack Daniels, too. :synister:). But, it's more like dessert that way. This way, it's salty and spicy and a nice side dish for a savory meal. :thumbsup:

Sounds really good Doojer. I'll have to try them the next time I smoke some pork.:yup:

sounds like a practical joke, i do not believe in grilled apple slices and you are stupid for even comming up with that you can not possibly think that tastes good. I like pizza myself and i think anyone that does not believe piza is the best food is a idiot and should go back to kindergarten, I have scientific proof pizza is the best food in the world and if you want to go against science to push your crappy apples on the masses then do it somewhere else.

:rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1:

Anyway sounds interesting I will have to try that.

Hmmm this is a pretty good recipe I'll have to try.

Here's something to try out....core a couple of apples but not all the way through. You're kinda making a bowl out of it (not the kind I'd make back in the day--that's a different topic :D) Fill it up with honey and cinnimon and heat it up. Use a spoon to dig the inside out with all that gooey goodness. I usually do this in the oven but it might work out on the grill.

Either that or you can nail a couple of apples to some wood and say the dog told you to do it :dontknow2::rotflmao1:

Thats Sounds Really Good.,. Going to have to try that one out! Thanks :thumbsup:

[GreytSilly]

Nice idea, I'll have to give this a try. We grill pineapple and romaine lettuce all the time. Romaine with a little olive oil and salt and pepper on the grill is super.

[MrLuminosity]

HOT! Sounds awesome...

I shall surprise my wife with this appetizer! Just enough spice!
