Time to Tailgate!

There are plenty of grilled favorites for game day or a relaxed late-summer meal in the August/September issue. While the coals are still hot, whip up one or more of these great grilled desserts!

Apple Skewers
We enjoy these flavorful grilled apples with a lightly spiced coating all year. Best of all, they’re a cinch to grill or broil and cleanup’s a breeze. —Doris Sowers, Hutchinson, Kansas

Warm Apple Topping
My husband and I love preparing entire meals on the grill, to the surprise and delight of company. We created this unique dessert for my mother, who can’t eat most grain products. She was thrilled with the sweet fruit topping spooned over vanilla ice cream. —Sharon Manton, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Cookout Caramel S’mores
These gooey treats make a great finish to an informal meal. Toasting the marshmallows extends our after-dinner time together, giving us something fun to do as a family. —Martha Haseman, Hinckley, Illinois

Chocolate Dessert Wraps
The filled tortillas take just minutes on the grill and get a chewy consistency from marshmallows. —Laurie Gwaltney, Indianapolis, Indiana

Dessert From the Grill
I complete grilled meals with this light, refreshing dessert. By the time we’re done eating, the coals have cooled to the right temperature. I brush slices of pineapple and pound cake with a yummy sauce, toast them on the grill and top ’em with ice cream and convenient caramel sauce. —Becky Gillespie, Boulder, Colorado

Banana Boats
This recipe is a favorite with my family when we go camping. It’s quick, fun to make and scrumptious! —Brenda Loveless, Garland, Texas

Grilled Peaches with Berry Sauce
This unusual dessert is as pretty as it is delicious. Topped with brown sugar and cinnamon, the peaches come off the grill sweet and spicy. The raspberry sauce adds a refreshing touch. —Nancy Johnson, Connersville, Indiana
