Easy Griddle Fruit – A Sweet Treat!

If you’re looking for a quick and delicious way to level up your desserts, breakfasts, and even your savory meals, Griddle Fruit is about to become your new obsession.

Using your Blackstone Griddle, you can transform fresh fruit into caramelized, warm, flavorful bites that taste like something straight out of a gourmet restaurant—and you can do it in minutes.

Whether you’re cooking diced apples, peaches, and blueberries to pile on top of a Smashed Cinnamon Roll Cake (my favorite!), or you’re griddling bigger fruits like pineapple slices or peach halves, this technique is simple, fun, and incredibly versatile.

Why Griddle Fruit Works So Well

Cooking fruit on a Blackstone allows the natural sugars to caramelize, creating deeper flavors and a syrupy texture without needing to add much sugar at all. Just a little butter or oil and a sprinkle of cinnamon or sugar (if you want it sweeter), and the heat of the griddle does the magic.

With the large cooking surface, you can make multiple fruits at the same time, creating a Griddle Fruit Medley or even a warm Griddle Fruit Salad that pairs beautifully with any griddle-cooked main dish. Create a Griddle Fruit and Yogurt Bowl like this one from the Blackstone Products recipe website.

How to Make Griddle Fruit

Making griddle fruit is incredibly simple. Just dice your fresh apples, peaches, blueberries, or any fruit you have on hand. Set your Blackstone Griddle to low heat, add a touch of butter or oil, and toss the fruit until it’s caramelized and tender. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, or even a drizzle of maple syrup for extra flavor.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try the flambé method: add a splash of your favorite alcohol—like rum or bourbon—to the fruit and carefully ignite with a long lighter. The flame burns off quickly, leaving behind restaurant-worthy flavor!

You can also griddle banana slices, peach halves, pineapple rings, mango cubes, watermelon wedges, and more. Each fruit cooks differently, creating a unique texture and flavor profile.

Can I flambé on the Blackstone?

Yes, as long as you’re cautious. Use a small amount of alcohol and ignite with a long lighter. The flames burn off quickly and leave fantastic flavor.
