Prep Time
Cook Time
Pellets
1 Whole | lemon, juiced |
4 Whole | apples |
1/2 Cup | sugar |
1 1/2 Tablespoon | water |
2 Tablespoon | red wine |
1/4 Cup | heavy cream |
1/2 Whole | vanilla bean, split and scraped or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract |
As Needed | kosher salt |
6 Tablespoon | flour |
2 Teaspoon | ground cinnamon |
1/2 Cup | old fashioned oats |
1/2 Cup | brown sugar |
1/4 Teaspoon | nutmeg |
1/4 Cup | cold unsalted butter |
Step 1
Filling: Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze in the juice from the lemon to keep the apples from browning.
1 Whole lemon, juiced
Step 2
Peel and slice the apples in thin slices and put into the bowl of lemon water.
4 Whole apples
Step 3
Caramel sauce: Place the sugar and water in a small pot and cook, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until the sugar has melted and caramelized. DO NOT cook the sugar on too high of a heat or for too long. This will take about 10 minutes.
1/2 Cup sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon water
Step 4
Remove the pot from the burner and slowly add in the wine and the cream.
2 Tablespoon red wine
1/4 Cup heavy cream
Step 5
Return the pot to the stove and add in the vanilla bean and a pinch of Jacobson salt and heat it slowly.
1/2 Whole vanilla bean, split and scraped or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
As Needed kosher salt
Step 6
Cook until it has reduced by half. Remove the caramel from the heat. As it cools it will continue to thicken.
Step 7
Drain the apples and toss them in the flour and cinnamon.
2 Tablespoon flour
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step 8
When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 350℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
Step 9
Topping: Mix the oats, brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and Jacobson salt in a bowl. Cut the cold butter into small pieces. Put the butter pieces in the bowl with the flour mixture and cut them in with a pastry cutter or just a good ole fork until the mixture resembles crumbs.
1/2 Cup old fashioned oats
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1/4 Cup flour
1/4 Teaspoon nutmeg
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 Cup cold unsalted butter
Pinch kosher salt
Step 10
Dump the apples into an 8” casserole dish. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the apples. Top evenly with the crisp topping.
Step 11
Place in the grill for about 45 minutes or until the crisp is crispy and bubbling around the edges. Rotate the pan halfway through the cooking time for even cooking.

Step 12
After you pull the crisp out, let it sit for about 20-30 minutes to allow the fruit pectin to set and for the crisp to come together.
Step 13
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
