When I was a kid, one of the only desserts I knew how to make was a super simple apple pie. It involved store brought pastry, stewed apples and not much else. On a Sunday night, my mum was usually too tired to be bothered cooking, so I would step up with my "incredible" pie.
Mercifully, my cooking skills have got better, but my enjoyment of simple fruit desserts has endured. This recipe is one of my new favorites.
When smoking stuff outside of meat, like always it is important to be careful of how much smoke you use, but a little bit really does take this recipe to the next level. Do yourself a favor and drizzle some Apple Cider syrup and Caramel Syrup from Athol Orchards. You can pick some up here.
What you will need
- 4 medium sized apples
- 2 Tablespoons rolled oats
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 Cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 Cup brown sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch nutmeg
- Juice 1/2 lemon
Method
1.Setup your grill for indirect smoking to about 250F. Use a subtle fruit wood for smoking and core apples.
2. Add all other ingredients together and mix thoroughly before spooning mixture into apples. Make sure to fill entire apple up with mixture, without leaving gaps in the centre.
3. Place apples into a foil tray and pour in 1/4 cup warm water. If needed, you can cover the apples and the tray with foil, to help them cook and avoid getting too much smoke.
4. Smoke until apples are soft and mixture is cooked through.
5. To serve, slice apples in half and drizzle with Athol Orchards Syrups and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Nothing in these three recipes is overly complicated. It is essentially a slightly elevated version of a classic meat and 2 veg meal. It brings big flavor along with that unmistakable backyard BBQ feel.

There’s something primal and perfect about a French dip slider when it’s done right. Not fussy. Not dressed up with microgreens or some half-hearted aioli. Just soft buns cradling meat that practically melts on contact, rich caramelized onions that took their sweet time getting there, and bubbly, gooey cheese.
