I'm all for multi-tasking, so of course I was intrigued with the idea of making a classic fall dessert while grilling dinner outdoors. Instead of turning on the oven and heating up the kitchen, Chef Mario Batali bakes this crisp over off-set heat in a covered grill. While the juicy apples are bubbling away, you can grill a quick dinner directly over the coals--perhaps pork chops, thick zucchini slices, and par-boiled fingerling potatoes. Dessert is ready when you are, served with either sweetened yogurt (as directed in the recipe) or vanilla ice cream. And the kitchen stays cool as a cucumber!
