Bananas Foster on the Grill

Bananas Foster is my husband's favorite dessert, and this is one of the easiest recipes I have found. Not only is it delicious, it's a great way to use those bananas that are a little too ripe to just peel and eat.

Disposable foil pie pan (9 in.), optional
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons hot caramel ice cream topping
