The recipe allows for customization with cheese, nuts, herbs, and balsamic glaze to enhance flavor and texture.

  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady)
  • 8 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or hot honey preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing apples)

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 ounces goat cheese or brie (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 Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and clean and oil the grates well to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Apples: Slice the apples into wedges or rounds about ¼ to ½ inch thick, removing the core but keeping the peel for texture and structure.
  3. Brush Apples: Lightly brush both sides of the apple slices with olive oil or melted butter to enhance grilling and prevent sticking.
  4. Grill Apples: Place the apple slices on the grill and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  5. Add Prosciutto: Wrap or place prosciutto slices on top of the grilled apples. For crispier prosciutto, grill it separately for 1–2 minutes before assembling.
  6. Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Drizzle honey over the assembled apples and prosciutto right before serving. Optionally, add chopped herbs, cheese, nuts, or a balsamic glaze drizzle to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose apples that hold up well on the grill, such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady.
  • Use thinly sliced prosciutto for easy wrapping and quick grilling.
  • Optional toppings like goat cheese, fresh herbs, nuts, and balsamic glaze elevate the dish's complexity.
  • Monitor apples closely to avoid overcooking and losing their firm texture.
  • This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for different occasions.
