Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed gingersnaps
- 4 apricots, pit removed and cut into eighths
- 4 plums, pit removed and cut into fourths
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
- Pinch salt
- 4 teaspoons lime zest
- 2 limes, juiced
- 4 teaspoons brandy
Instructions
- Heat coals of grill or fire pit. Cut 8 (18 by 18-inch) squares of aluminum foil. Lay down double thickness of foil and divide gingersnaps evenly among the 4 squares. Divide fruit evenly and place on top of gingersnaps. Dot with butter. In small bowl mix sugar, salt, and lime zest. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over fruit, drizzle with juice and brandy and seal packets. Once coals are ash covered, lay packets over them and cover with lid of grill. If cooking in a fire pit carefully try to partially bury packets in hot coals. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and open carefully, as steam inside packet is very hot. Serve on plates as is or spoon into shallow bowls and top with creme fraiche or ice cream.

This is a grill favorite!!! I love making this dessert!!! Words cannot express how good it is!!! You, your family and friends won’t be disappointed
Easy and so good!
very good and very fun for the kids
Question should I only use stone fruit-what about pears, apples, etc. Fam does not like apricots or lime juise-used lemon. Luv ya AB
Love this, so easy… in a pinch, can be made in a bowl and microwaved….
Super easy and a real crowd pleaser!
this dessert was very surprising.I thought I wouldn’t like it because of the kinds of friut,but it was great and a hit when we served it to our friends. You don’t have to love fruit to like this meal.Don’t overcook though 10 min is long enough.We used water instead of brandy b/c we don’t drink.
the fruit was so tender and warm and syrupy… really great. Totally agree with viewer who said AB waqs a TOTAL hottie. Love you Alton! You crack me up!
These were awsome! I also added fresh peaches. My husband and kids just scarved them up!!!!!
