This recipe for Grilled Apples with Prosciutto and Honey offers a delightful balance of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. Tender grilled apple slices are wrapped in salty prosciutto, drizzled with golden honey, and accented with creamy cheese, fresh herbs, crunchy nuts, and a tangy balsamic glaze for a sophisticated appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Protein

  • 2 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady)
  • 8 slices prosciutto (thinly sliced)

Flavor Enhancers

  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or hot honey preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing apples)
  • 2 ounces goat cheese or brie (optional, for creamy variation)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Crushed walnuts or pecans (for added crunch)
  • Drizzle of balsamic glaze (for tangy finish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates thoroughly to prevent the apples from sticking during cooking.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Slice the apples into wedges or rounds about ¼ to ½ inch thick, ensuring you remove the core but keep the peel intact for added texture and structural integrity while grilling.
  3. Brush with Oil or Butter: Lightly brush both sides of the apple slices with olive oil or melted butter to help them caramelize and prevent drying out on the grill.
  4. Grill the Apples: Place the apple slices onto the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until visible grill marks appear and the apples are tender but still hold their shape without becoming mushy.
  5. Add the Prosciutto: Wrap each grilled apple slice with a slice of prosciutto or place the prosciutto on top. For crispier prosciutto, grill it separately on the side for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly crispy.
  6. Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Immediately before serving, drizzle the grilled apples and prosciutto with honey. Optionally, add dollops of goat cheese or brie, sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary or thyme, scatter crushed walnuts or pecans, and finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze for a flavorful and visually appealing presentation.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady to ensure they hold up well on the grill without turning mushy.
  • Using raw or hot honey enhances the flavor with added depth; substitute with regular honey if preferred.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the prosciutto and add extra cheese or nuts for protein and texture.
  • Grill marks add beautiful presentation but avoid overcooking to maintain the apples’ freshness and juiciness.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme according to your taste preference.
  • Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish to complement grilled meats or salads.
