Ingredients
Smoked Apples
- 5 medium apples (Gala suggested), halved lengthwise and cores removed
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp salted butter, melted
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup raisins or cranberries
- 2 tbsp walnuts, crushed
Serving
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Pellet Grill: Preheat your Traeger, Pitt Boss, or any pellet grill to 225-250°F (107-121°C). The recommended smoking temperature is 250°F to achieve an ideal cooking pace for the apples.
- Prepare Apples: Halve and core the Gala apples lengthwise. Place them cut side up in a baking dish or cast iron skillet.
- Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar, drizzle the melted butter, then add cinnamon, raisins (or cranberries), and crushed walnuts on top of the apple halves.
- Smoke the Apples: Place the prepared apples in the pellet grill and smoke at 250°F for 60-90 minutes. Smoke until the apples are fork-tender but still hold a slight bite, avoiding mushiness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the smoked apples from the grill, let them cool slightly, and serve warm. Top with vanilla ice cream if desired for an indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Choose your favorite apple variety; Gala is suggested for its sweetness and texture.
- Adjust smoking time based on your preferred apple doneness—less time for firmer apples, more for softer.
- Vanilla ice cream is optional but adds a delightful creamy contrast.
- Use a cast iron skillet or baking dish suitable for smoking to hold the apples and toppings during cooking.
