4 large
Honeycrisp apples
1 cup
large flake, instant oatmeal
¼ cup
all-purpose flour
1/3 cup
brown sugar, packed
½ tsp.
salt
2 tsp.
cinnamon
½ tsp.
nutmeg
¼ tsp.
ginger
½ cup
cold butter
- Soak two maple planks while the grill preheats to 375°F.
- While things are preheating and soaking, core the apples using a spoon or melon baller to hollow out the inside of the apples without cutting all the way through.
- Mix the oatmeal, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Using a pair of knives, fork, or a pastry cutter, combine the butter into the oatmeal mixture until it makes little clumps that resemble wet sand with oatmeal in it.
- Carefully fill the apples with as much of the oatmeal mixture as possible, overflowing the top of the apple so that the tops get really nice and crisp. Place the apples onto the soaked planks, then onto the grill.
- Bake the apples for 30 minutes, or until the apple provides no resistance when poked with a knife or toothpick, and the oatmeal is crispy on top.
- Serve hot off the grill topped with ice cream, whipped cream, maple syrup, dried cranberries and pecans, caramel – use your imagination.

This Easter season, try a light and fresh Lemon & Blueberry Cake for dessert. This confection tastes as good as it looks, and boy does it ever look good! The light lemony flavor of the cake pairs perfectly with the tart blueberries. The cream cheese icing just makes it all even better.
