Grilled APPs (grilled fruit in foil!)

Whoa whoa whoa- I know you're all thinking, did Kelli upgrade to a smart phone? she can't even get apps.  If she has apps & how does she even know which ones are good?  Nope, my APPs are apples, peaches & pineapples, & I grilled these up for a nice dessert after stuffing my face with a cheeseburger & onion rings. (Like I would feel less guilty overeating if I added in a little fruit instead of one of the chococaramelly brownies?).

Still...not creative with a name, and ate more than I should have.  And I don't have an exact recipe for this, but it's one of those you can experiment with-if I can't mess it up, you can't either, I have faith!!!

Grilled fruit in foil! (keep it clean)

Ingredients:
-2 apples (I used gala)
-1 container sliced pineapple (or pineapple cut up fresh)
-1 package of frozen peaches (or peaches cut up fresh)
-any other fruits you enjoy eating- we thought blueberries, grapes, etc
-butter
-brown sugar
-cinnamon
-lite corn syrup
-tin foil

Directions:
Chop up your fruit choices
Mound them on a layer of tin foil
Dab on butter (use a couple tablespoons)
Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon
pineapple, peaches, apples
 -Pour some corn syrup over the fruit mix and seal fruit in tin foil
Place on grill & grill on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes

Remove from grill, open, and enjoy! this would be great with vanilla ice cream....and to provide some aromatherapy to the kitchen..mmm

The only downside- I LOVE grilled pineapple, like straight up on the grill, creating the grill lines, and this is definitely not as delish as that.  but I was pleasantly surprised & will for sure add in other fruits next time.  Also, I think I would mix up the whole kit n caboodle (wow, did I just say that?)-the fruit, sugar, cinnamon, syrup-maybe even melt butter and mix EVERYTHING----when I was eating-it was good, but some pieces were GOOD (covered with more sugar/cinnamon).  Live and learn- now go out and enjoy the warmer weather & grilling season :)

  1. Sounds/looks good but some berries or cherries would definitely liven it up a bit!
