Ingredients
  

For the Apple Layer
  • 4 medium medium apples, cored and diced into half-inch cubes Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes Keep it cold until ready to use.
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar Adds sweetness and flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Thickens the juices released by the apples.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • a small pinch ground cloves
For the Crumble Topping
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes Keep cold until mixing to achieve a crumby texture.
For Serving
  • 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce Plus extra for drizzling.
  • whipped topping or vanilla ice cream Optional, but highly recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Decide whether to grill or bake, and preheat accordingly. For grilling, heat to high and for baking, preheat to 450°F.
  2. Tear off four large pieces of heavy-duty foil, about twelve inches by eighteen inches each.
Building the Apple Filling
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Stir until well coated.
Making the Crumble Topping
  1. In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold butter and mix until the texture becomes coarse and clumpy.
Assembling the Foil Packs
  1. Divide the apple mixture among the four foil sheets. Top each with crumble topping, then fold the foil tightly around each pack.
Cooking
  1. Place foil packs on the grill for 7 to 9 minutes or bake on a baking sheet for 15 to 18 minutes.
  2. Check for doneness by opening one pack; apples should be soft and topping should be set.
Finishing Touches
  1. Let the packs rest for two minutes. Carefully open and drizzle with salted caramel and add optional toppings before serving.

Notes

Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing. Dice apples uniformly for even cooking. Do not overfill the packs for easier sealing.
