Ingredients
-
2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady), sliced into wedges or rounds
-
6–8 slices prosciutto di Parma or San Daniele
-
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
-
2 tbsp raw honey (or hot/orange blossom honey for variation)
-
Optional toppings:
-
2 oz goat cheese or brie
-
Fresh rosemary or thyme
-
Balsamic glaze
-
Crushed nuts or shaved parmesan
-
Instructions
-
Preheat the grill: Heat to medium-high and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the apples: Slice into ¼–½ inch rounds or wedges, remove the core but leave the peel for structure.
-
Brush and grill: Lightly coat apple slices with olive oil or melted butter. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until tender and lightly charred.
-
Wrap or top with prosciutto: Add prosciutto after grilling, or crisp it separately for 1–2 minutes.
-
Drizzle and serve: Finish with a warm honey drizzle and optional toppings like goat cheese, herbs, or balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
Notes
Apple tip: Firm, sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp hold up best on the grill.
Cheese swap: Try creamy brie or gorgonzola for a bold twist.
Serving idea: Perfect alongside grilled chicken, a fall salad, or sparkling wine.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently or enjoy chilled.
