Smoked Fireball Whiskey Apples
This is how my Smoked Fireball Whiskey Apples recipe came to be a thing đŸ™‚
This recipe idea came to me very last minute.
I was smoking a pork tenderloin on our Traeger pellet grill/ smoker and was planning to make some sauteed apples to go with it.
Then it hit me that it would be a really good idea to try smoking the apples instead.
As I scrambled through my cabinets looking for things to add to it, there was the Fireball Whiskey.
Just staring at me and begging to a part of this yumminess.
How to make Smoked Fireball Whiskey Apples
Using a melon baller I scooped out the center of some honeycrisp apples.
Being very careful not to go through the bottom.
In the center of each apple I put some butter, kosher salt, cinnamon, Fireball Whiskey, and some brown sugar.
The apples go into a Traeger pellet grill or smoker set to 250 degrees for about one and a half hours.
That was the perfect amount of time for me because the apples still were slightly crisp and not too mushy.
.
When I served these on the side of our smoked pork tenderloin I sliced them on a plate.
The liquid will go onto the plate, so pour it over top of the apple slices to serve.
The Fireball liquid was also really good with the pork.
These Smoked Fireball Whiskey Apples aren’t too sweet, but could easily be served as a dessert as well.
Maybe a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream with the hot apple and sweet Fireball goodness.
Yum!
