Topping

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • Pinch Kosher salt
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, cold, diced

Utensils

  • 8 x 8 Baking Dish
  • Wooden Spoon

  • Step 1

    In a medium bowl, prepare the filling by mixing apples with lemon juice, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt until the apples are completely coated.

  • Step 2

    Grease a 8 x 8 baking dish with butter then pour the apple filling into the baking dish.

  • Step 3

    In a separate medium bowl, prepare the topping by whisking together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

  • Step 4

    Add the cold cubed butter to the dry topping and use your hands to mix until the butter and dry topping come together in a pebbly, crumble texture mixture.

  • Step 5

    Add a third of the topping over the apple filling and mix together. Then sprinkle the remaining topping over the apple filling. 

  • Step 6

    To install the grill plate, position it flat on top of the heating element and gently press down until it sits into place. Close the hood.

  • Step 7

    While holding the smoke box lid open, use the pellet scoop to pour a ½ cup of the all-purpose blend of pellets into the smokebox. Then close the smoke box lid.

  • Step 8

    Turn dial to AIR CRISP. Press WOODFIRE FLAVOR. Set temperature to 325°F and set time to 45 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 5 minutes).
