Gather Your Ingredients
To make this delicious dessert, you’ll need:

Assemble and Grill

- Place the second tortilla on top of the apples.
- Spread a thin layer of caramel over the top of the second tortilla.
- Sprinkle crumbled granola chunks over the top of the second tortilla.
Grill to Perfection
Slide the pie onto a grill heated to a medium temperature (400-450°F) and close the grill lid. Check the progress of the pie in 3-4 minutes by lifting it with a spatula and checking the darkness of the sear marks. If the sear marks are dark and well-defined, quarter-turn the pie; otherwise, wait 2 more minutes. Remove the pie from the grill around 8 minutes or when it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Serve and Enjoy
Allow the pie to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving with fresh whipped cream or ice cream. The combination of caramel, apples, and crunchy granola will surely delight your taste buds!
