  • Preheat the grill to medium-high. Cut the apples in half, corsswise. Use a melon baller to scoop out the seeds and create a hollow in each of the apple halves. Brush the apples with the remaining BBQ sauce; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stuff an equal portion of the filling into the hollow of each apple half; mound filling as needed,. Transfer to a well-greased grate. Grill for 5 minutes without moving. Turn off the burner directly under the apples and adjust remaining burners to low. Cook, with lid closed, for about 12 minutes or until apples are just fork tender.
