Bloomin grilled apples are filled with cinnamon-sugar, caramel, and pecans. Grilled until soft and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
An easy warm and gooey dessert without having to heat up your house. Great for camp-outs and barbecues. You can also bake it for a delicious Fall dessert like my Apple Cider Donuts.
What kind of apples are the best?
I prefer using Fuji or Honey Crisp, they both hold up really well with grilling or baking. Any apple variety will work, some varieties just cook much faster, so check them for tenderness after about 15 minutes.
How to make grilled apples
- First using a paring knife, slice off the top.
- Then I find it easiest to use a melon baller to remove the core and seeds. But a spoon will work also.
- Next, flip the apple over and cut 1/8-inch slits around the apple.
- Brush the inside of the apple with the cinnamon mixture
- Pour in the caramel and pecans. Wrap the apple in aluminum foil and grill or bake.
