Grilled Dessert: Gorgonzola and walnut stuffed apples


Yum! How tasty does this look? And you make it on the grill so it's perfect for all the outdoor entertaining you've got planned for summer.

Ingredients:
4 medium cooking apples, such as Granny Smith or Jonathan
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola, Stilton, or Roquefort cheese
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
4 teaspoons honey

Directions:
1. Core apples almost to the bottom, leaving approximately 1/2 inch. Remove 1 inch of peel from the top of each apple.

2. In a small bowl stir together Gorgonzola, walnuts, and melted butter. Fill each cored apple three-fourths full. Drizzle 1 teaspoon honey into each. Add remaining filling to apples. Place apples in a disposable foil pan.

3. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around edge of grill. Test for medium heat over center of grill. Place apples on rack in the center of the grill. Cover; grill for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust grill for indirect grilling. Place apples on grill rack. Grill as above.)

4. Drizzle each serving with additional honey; serve warm.
