Ingredients
- 1 packet McCormick Grill Mates Brown Sugar Bourbon Marinade + 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 apples * firm
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup granola
Instructions
- 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.
