Bloomin’ Grilled Apples by The Gunny Sack
Ingredients:
2 small baking apples
4 tbsp maple cream caramel sauce, divided
6 tsp chopped pecans, divided
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
Steps:
- Cut off the top fourth of the apples.
- Scoop out the core.
- Use a thin knife to make a deep, circular cut around the center of the apple.
- Turn the apple over and make narrow cuts all the way around the apple.
- Fill the center of the apples with maple caramel sauce and chopped pecans. I used about one tablespoon of maple cream sauce and two teaspoons of chopped pecans for each apple.
- Wrap the stuffed apples with heavy duty foil and grill over medium heat for 30 minutes, with the grill lid closed.
- Unwrap the maple pecan blooming grilled apple and use tongs to set it on a plate. If you are “roughing it”, you could shape a foil bowl while unwrapping the dessert, and eat the bloomin’ grilled apples right out of it.
- Top the bloomin’ grilled apples with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
- Drizzle each one with one tablespoon of warm maple pecan sauce and sprinkle with a teaspoon of chopped pecans.
Cinnamon Sugar Grilled Peaches by High Heels and Grills
Ingredients:
¼ cup (1/2 stick) salted butter, at room temperature {Look for the REAL® Seal!}
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. granulated sugar
¼ tsp. cinnamon
4 ripe, yellow-flesh peaches, halved and pitted
Vegetable oil
Steps:
- In a small bowl, whip the butter with a spatula until smooth. Add the sugar and cinnamon and mix well.
- Get your grill going on medium-high heat.
- Lightly baste the peaches with the oil and place face-down on the grill. Cook until the tops are slightly softened when you touch them. There’s no need to move them or check them, just wait until those tops are slightly soft!
- Remove the peaches from the grill and top with the cinnamon butter.
- Serve warm.

4 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon salt
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large cast iron skillet with non-stick spray or olive oil spray.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup Sugar In The Raw Organic White until smooth. Add egg white from 1 egg and continue to beat. Add 3/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until very smooth. Set aside. This is your pumpkin pie layer mixture.

- Using an electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup Sugar In The Raw Organic White, egg white from 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, oil, melted chocolate, and 1 cup pumpkin puree. Beat until totally smooth and incorporated. Slowly add the flour mixture and continue to beat until smooth. Finally, add the buttermilk and mix until combined and smooth. This is your brownie mixture.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the skillet and smooth out with a spatula. Top with the pumpkin pie layer. Using a knife, slide the knife through the two layers to create a swirled top layer.
