Ingredients
- 2 medium apples Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady
- 8 slices prosciutto thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey raw or hot honey preferred
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter for brushing apples
Optional:
- 2 ounces goat cheese or brie for creamy variation
- Fresh rosemary or thyme finely chopped for garnish
- Crushed walnuts or pecans for added crunch
- Drizzle of balsamic glaze for tangy finish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Slice the apples into wedges or rounds, about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Remove the core, but keep the peel for texture and structure.
- Lightly brush the apple slices with olive oil or melted butter on both sides.
- Grill the apples for about 2–3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the fruit is tender but not mushy.
- Wrap or top the grilled apples with prosciutto. If you prefer the prosciutto crisp, you can lightly grill it separately for 1–2 minutes.
- Drizzle with honey right before serving. Add garnishes like herbs, cheese, or nuts if desired.
