Caramelized apples, toasted oats, and a sugary, buttery sauce… this campfire apple crisp is what fall tenting is all about!
These apple crisp foil packets are the final word no-fuss campfire dessert: simply apples, oats, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon wrapped up in foil and cooked till heat and bubbly.
It’s all the pieces we love about apple pie, with out the pie crust (or the dishes). This dessert might be prepped fully at residence, so all you should do is toss it over the fireplace for a couple of minutes.
High with a dollop of whipped cream, or, if you happen to’re feeling bold, check out our camping-friendly ice cream in a espresso can recipe!
We sized this recipe to be 1 serving per foil packet, as a result of the strain that may come up from splitting a dessert like this isn’t definitely worth the danger. Companions, mates, siblings—everyone seems to be getting their very own separate serving!
