Ingredients

4 apples I used Honey Crisp
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional
½ cup caramel plus more for topping
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

In a small bowl mix the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.
Slice the top of the apple off and scoop out the core and seeds using a melon baller or spoon.
Flip over the apple and cut narrow slits (about 1/2 inches wide) all around the apple.
Place each apple on a piece of aluminium foil (about a 12-inch square). Spread the butter mixture evenly over the tops.
Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of caramel into the center and add some chopped pecans.
Wrap the apples. And place on a hot grill (over indirect heat) and cover. Grill for 20-25 minutes or until desired tenderness.
Remove from foil and top with ice cream, more caramel sauce, and extra nuts.

Notes

The grilling time is according to a medium heated grill. You may have to adjust the grilling time if the grill is low.
