Baked Apples
Core a large cooking apple (the firmer and tarter the
better). Fill the whole with red cinnamon candies,
raisins and a bit of butter. Dot the rest of the apple
with butter.
Place the apple in the center of a sheet of foil. Bring
the corners together and twist, leaving the foil rather
loose around the apple.
Cook on your Hasty-Bake at about 200ºF with the
heat deflector in place over the coals until the apple is
soft, about 30 minutes.
Foil-Wrapped Apple Brown Betty
(The Vegetarian Grill)
4 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1
⁄
2
cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
1
⁄
4
cup brown sugar
4 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Prepare a low fire on the grill (over a hot fire, the
apples will scorch and their flavor will be bitter).
Combine the apples, crumbs, brown sugar, butter and
cinnamon in a bowl and mix well. Divide the mixture
between 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil and seal the
packets so no liquid or steam will escape. Grill the
packets, turning once, until apples are soft, about 20
minutes. Open the packets very carefully and serve
warm.

Prepare a medium-low direct fire in your Hasty-Bake.

Combine the butter and honey in a small pan or
microwave-save container and heat until butter is
melted. Stir in the liqueur. Brush the mixture onto the
fruit and sprinkle each kabob with nuts.
Grill, turning occasionally, until the nuts are golden
brown (5 to 10 minutes). Serve warm.
Caramelized Bananas
(The Vegetarian Grill)
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
4 bananas
Prepare a medium direct fire. Combine the butter and
brown sugar in a shallow dish. Peel the bananas, slice
in half lengthwise, then again crosswise. Add the
bananas to the butter mixture and toss very gently to
coat. Grill the bananas, turning ounce, until a crispy
brown coating of caramelized sugar forms on the
surface (about 5 minutes per side). Watch carefully;
don’t allow sugar to char. Remove from the grill and
serve hot.
