Grilled Apple Delight: A Sweet and Savory Experience

Ingredients

- 4 medium-sized apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of walnuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese
- Honey for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the apples: wash them thoroughly under cool running water. Once washed, core and slice each apple into even wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Add the apple wedges to the bowl, tossing them gently to coat each piece evenly with the mixture.
3. Preheat the flat grill over medium heat. Melt the unsalted butter on the grill surface, allowing it to bubble and foam slightly, but not burn.
4. Once the butter is melted, carefully place the apple wedges on the grill in a single layer. Grill the apples for about 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
5. During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the apples to toast them slightly. This will enhance their flavor and provide a delicious crunch.
6. Remove the grilled apples and nuts from the grill, plating them on a large serving dish.
7. Add dollops of ricotta cheese on top of the warm apples, and drizzle with honey if desired for extra sweetness.
8. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy the warm, sweet, and savory flavors!
