Prepare the Brown Sugar Bourbon Marinade by whisking together the water, oil, and apple cider vinegar with the contents of the package. Pour the marinade into a large pan or zip top bag.
Remove the cores from the four apples with an apple corer or melon baller.
Cut the apples horizontally into thick 1/2-inch slices. Discard the top and bottom. You should get 2-3 apple slices per apple depending on the size of your apples.
Place the apple slices in the marinade and turn or toss to gently coat. Cover and allow to marinate for 15 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to 350°F or medium high.
Using tongs, place the apple slices onto the hot grill. Allow to grill for 2-3 minutes or until light brown grill marks appear on the bottoms.
Turn and grill an additional 2-3 minutes or until the apples are just fork-tender.
Remove to a plate and allow to cool a few minutes.
Top the 2-3 slices of the warm apples with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and granola. Serve immediately.
Tips and Techniques
- You can adjust the measurements for the cinnamon, ice cream, and granola to suite your own personal tastes.
- Add an additional tablespoon of brown sugar to the marinade to make it a bit sweeter, if preferred.
- These grilled apples can also be served right off the grill as a sweet and savory side dish to enjoy with your grilled meats and seafood.
- Store leftover grilled apple slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 4-5 days.
