Ingredients You’ll Need

• Apples: Choose firm, sweet-tart varieties like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady. These hold up beautifully on the grill.
• Prosciutto: Go for thinly sliced, high-quality prosciutto di Parma or San Daniele. That salty edge makes all the difference.
• Honey: Raw honey is best—its floral, natural flavor enhances everything. Try hot honey or orange blossom honey for a twist.
• Olive oil or butter: Brush it on to keep the apples from sticking and add a golden-brown finish.
• Optional add-ons: Crumbled goat cheese or creamy brie, a sprinkle of rosemary, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy note.

How to Make Grilled Apples with Prosciutto and Honey

Step 1: Prep the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and give the grates a quick oiling. (Nothing ruins grilling joy like sticky fruit.)

Step 2: Slice and Brush

Cut your apples into wedges or rounds, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Remove the core but keep the peel—it helps the slices hold their shape. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter.

Step 3: Grill to Perfection

Place the apple slices directly on the grill. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, just until grill marks appear and the fruit is tender but not mushy. You want that sweet spot between crisp and caramelized.

Step 4: Add the Prosciutto

Once grilled, wrap or top each apple slice with a piece of prosciutto. If you prefer it crispy, grill the prosciutto separately for a minute or two.

Step 5: Finish with Honey Magic

Drizzle with honey right before serving. Add a pinch of rosemary, a crumble of cheese, or a few toasted nuts for flair.

Tips for Grilling Success

• Keep an eye on the heat: Too hot, and your apples will burn before softening. Medium-high is your friend.
• Mix up your honey: Hot honey adds a fun kick; orange blossom honey makes it feel fancy.
• Serve immediately: These beauties taste best warm, right off the grill.
• Make it a meal: Pair with grilled chicken or a fresh salad for a balanced dinner.

Pro tip: If your apples start to stick, don’t panic. Just let them cook another 30 seconds—they’ll release naturally once caramelized. (A little patience = perfect grill marks.)
