Ingredients

• 2 Pink Lady Apples (sliced)
• 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
• 3 Tbsp Butter
• 1/4 cup Gentleman Jack Whiskey

Instructions

1. Preheat the Smoker: Preheat your wood-fired smoker to 325°F (162.7°C).
2. Prepare the Apples: Slice the Pink Lady apples into pieces, leaving some larger than others for added texture.
3. Add Sugar and Spice: Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the apple slices.
4. Add Butter: Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them over the apples.
5. Pour in the Whiskey: Drizzle the Gentleman Jack Whiskey over the apples, allowing it to mix with the sugar, cinnamon, and butter.
6. Cook on the Smoker: Place the cast iron skillet with the apples on the preheated smoker. Cook for 15 minutes.
7. Flip and Mix: After 15 minutes, flip the apple slices over and mix them into the liquid in the pan.
8. Continue Cooking: Cook for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the apples to become tender.
9. Rest the Dish: Remove the skillet from the smoker, stir the apples again, and cover the pan with foil. Let the dish sit on the counter for 15 minutes to rest and absorb the flavors.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Jack'd Apples warm, either on their own or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy this delicious, smoky BBQ dessert!

Notes

Serve with Ice Cream: For an extra indulgent treat, serve your Jack'd Apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold, creamy texture pairs perfectly with the warm, smoky apples.

Add Caramel Sauce: Drizzle some caramel sauce over the top for a sweet finishing touch that enhances the rich flavors of the apples and whiskey.

Additional Tips for Making Jack'd Apples:

1. Use a Heavy Cast Iron Skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet helps distribute heat evenly and adds to the smoky flavor of the dish.

2. Control the Heat: When using the grill, monitor the temperature to ensure the apples cook evenly without burning. If needed, you can move the skillet to a cooler part of the grill.

3. Add a Sweet Finish: For extra sweetness, drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the apples before serving.

4. Serve with Ice Cream: Take the indulgence up a notch by serving the warm Jack'd Apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

5. Don’t Rush the Cooking: Let the apples cook slowly to absorb the bourbon and smoky flavors fully. This will result in a richer, more flavorful dessert.

With just a few ingredients and the magic of the Rec Tec Pellet Grill, you’ve created a dessert that’s as delightful as it is unique. Jack'd Apples are a sweet, smoky treat that’s perfect for any BBQ lover with a sweet tooth. Enjoy!
