Cedar Plank Baked Apples for Valentine's Day

There is far too much pressure associated with Valentines Day. And that anxiety expands exponentially when it’s the first Valentine’s with the your special someone…
The pressure mounts with the bombardment of advertisements touting “forever necklaces” and large heart-shaped boxes filled with waxy, chocolate-like substance. The tacky one-liner cards start to seem like a good idea… It’s almost like they are trying to make you fail.

You could fill your trunk cheap chocolate and helium-filled love mementos. Or just skirt the aisle of Valentine Day merchandise, sneak past the lurking pallet of Easter egg dye and peeps patiently waiting for shelf space- just stay near the perimeter of the store.  With a few easy ingredients, you can make a lasting memory for your loved one. With this no-fail idea, you can have your sweetie bragging about how you hit it out of the park, while their co-workers sulkily eat the contents of those heart-shaped boxes.

Ingredients
1 Red Rome Apple
1 6x8 Outdoor Gourmet Cedar Plank
½ cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons golden raisins
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ tablespoon agave on top
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
First: Soak Outdoor Gourmet Cedar Plank in water for an hour our more.  (We have heart shaped planks for the occasion.)

Next: Cut one Red Rome apple in half, scoop out insides in shape of a heart. Cut off a bit of the bottom so it won’t roll around on the plank.

Then: Mix all other ingredients together. Fill apple halves with oat mixture and top with two pecans cut to fit together like a heart. Pre-heat grill to 300-350 degrees. Place stuffed apples on planks and close the grill lid.

Finally: Allow apple and planks to smolder for 10 minutes. (Approximately the time it takes to open a bottle of wine and light the candles for the table.)  Carefully remove from grill and serve with a scope of ice cream. Garnish with cinnamon.

Happy Valentines Day!
