Pellet Grill Baked Apple Crisp

Nothing warms me up better on cold day than a piping hot helping of apple crisp.  I recently whipped up a batch, this time baking it on my Yoder Smokers pellet grill.  Here's how it looked coming together.

Granny Smith apples with cinnamon, sugar, and flour

All mixed up, ready for topping

Baking on the Yoder.  Looking good!

Apple crisp, hot off the grill!

Plated up with some vanilla bean ice cream.  That's some good eats!

This is one of my favorite desserts.  The Granny Smith apples were a little too mushy for my tastes.  I typically use a Jonathon or Honeycrisp for my baked apple recipes.  Here's the recipe I like to use:


Fill 9x9 buttered dish with chopped, fresh apples (jonathan, honey crisp, etc.), 6-8 apples,

Mix the following into the apples:

1 c. sugar
1 T. flour
1 t. cinnamon

In a separate bowl, mix together the following ingredients for the topping until crumbly

½ t baking soda
¾ t baking powder
1 c brown sugar
1 c flour
¾ c oats
¾ c butter melted

Spread the topping mixture over the apples. Bake for one hour at 350 or until brown.  Serve hot with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
