Apples Grilled in Parchment Paper

From the Weber web site... you're going to want to go there and sign up for their newsletter!

2 Granny Smith Apples

1/4 cup Dried Cranberries

1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup

2 tspn. Light Brown Sugar

1/2 tspn. Ground Cinnamon

2 tbs. Unsalted Butter, Divided

Quarter the apples through the core. Remove and discard the core, then cut each quarter into thin slices. Place the slices in a medium bowl. Add the cranberries, maple syrup, sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine.

To make the packets
Cut four pieces of baking parchment paper, about 12-15 inches each. Spoon one-quarter of the apple mixture into the center of each piece of paper and dot with one-quarter of the butter. Bring the two long ends of each paper together and fold them over several times to seal the top of the packet. Twist the other two ends of the papers in the opposite directions to close the packets.

Grill the packets over direct medium heat for about 10 minutes. Serve in packets or pour the apple mixture from each packet into a separate bowl. If you like, finish each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
