Campfire Apple Crisp
Sweet juicy apples are always a treat and this campfire apple crisp showcases their wonderful flavor. It's the perfect apple dessert recipe!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 apples large, any variety but I suggest a tart apple like Honey Crisp or Granny Smith
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon white sugar
- 2 Teaspoons ground cinnamon
Crumb Topping:
- 1 Cup all purpose flour
- 1 Cup brown sugar
- 1 Cup quick oats
- 1 Stick butter melted
- ½ Teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Toppings:
- vanilla ice cream
- caramel sundae topping
Instructions
- Preheat the grill for 350 degrees F or get your campfire going.
- Core and cut the apples into thin slices. You should have around 8 to 10 slices per apple.
- In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon until well coated.
- Make the crumb topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, quick oats, butter and cinnamon together until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Lay out six large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. (12-inch square pieces). Evenly distribute the sugared apples onto the center of each piece of foil.
- Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each pile of apples. You want enough to cover the apples completely.
- Bring the edges of the foil together to make a packet. Seal the packets well but leave some room for the heat to circulate inside.
- Place the foil packets on the grill or over the campfire on a grate. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the apples are tender. If you're using a campfire, try to keep the packets out of the flames and in a hotter part of the embers to avoid burning.
- Carefully open a packet to check if the apples are done. They should be tender and the topping should be bubbly and golden. If not, reseal the packet and continue cooking, checking every few minutes.
- Once the apple crisps are done, let them cool for a few minutes before carefully opening the packets. The contents will be very hot.
- Serve the apple crisp directly from the packets. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sundae topping, if desired.
Notes
Slice the apples thinly: Thin slices cook and soften quicker.
Check for doneness: This dessert is done when the apples are tender and the topping is bubbling hot.
Let them rest for a bit: These are very hot when they come off the campfire, so let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
