Prep Time:10 min

Start to Finish:20 min

makes:4 servings

2	large apples
1/4	cup caramel topping

1.	Heat gas or charcoal grill. Fold four 18x12-inch pieces heavy-duty foil crosswise in half; spray with cooking spray. Cut apples in half; remove cores. Cut each half into 4 wedges.
2.	Place 4 apple wedges in center of each piece of foil. Drizzle 2 tablespoons caramel topping over apple wedges on each piece of foil. Wrap foil securely around apples.
3.	Place foil packets, seam sides up, on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium-low heat 8 to 9 minutes or until apples are crisp-tender. Open packets carefully to avoid steam; caramel will be hot. Serve immediately.

** You can add some walnuts, pecans or any nuts that you prefer, to the mix before sealing the tin foil and placing on the grill.
