Directions

Preheat your grill/smoker/oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using a paring knife, first cut out the stem area and then use a small metal spoon to scoop out the core and seeds.
Place 2 soft caramel chews into each apple.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, pecans, and 1 Tablespoon of Apple Pie Seasoning. Stuff mixture into the apples.
Place apples into small baking dish or disposable aluminum tray and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the apples are tender, but not mushy.
Remove apples from tray and baste with the remaining juices from the pan, then serve.

Recipe Note

These are fantastic served with vanilla ice cream!
Use your favorite apple. Fuji, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Jonagold are all great choices.
Top with extra caramel or whipped cream.
