Recipe at a Glance:
- Yield: 4 servings
- Difficulty: Easy
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Ingredients:
- 4 large apples, such as Gala or Granny Smith
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons walnut pieces, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
- Prepare your campfire, letting the flames subside, and cover the coals with a layer of white ash.
- Cut the apples in half and excavate the cores using a melon baller or small, sharp spoon, ensuring the apple halves don't brown by brushing them with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Place each half onto its 10-inch square of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, the dried cranberries, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of butter in a small bowl. Mix well, then distribute this filling inside the hollows of the apple halves.
- Divide the remaining butter into 8 pieces, and place each piece on top of the filling in each apple half. Sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon, then wrap each half securely with the foil square.
- Arrange the foil-wrapped apples near or among the hot coals (but not on the open flame), and cook until the apples are soft, roughly 30 minutes to an hour. Check regularly—the apples are done when they feel soft when gently squeezed. Serve warm.
Flavorful Variations:
- Caramelized Delight: Before serving, drizzle your warm apples with melted caramel and crushed nuts for a delightful sweetness.
- Cinnamon Swirl: Before wrapping in foil, blend cinnamon into melted butter and drizzle over the apples for added warmth and flavor.
- Fruity Surprise: Enhance the filling with a handful of dried cherries or cranberries for a delightfully fruity twist.
Campfire Preparation Tips:
- Clean: Ensure all utensils are spotless and washed before beginning.
- Safety: Utilize tongs or a stick with a fork on the end to handle the hot apples.
- Temperature Control: Keep the apples in the coals for consistent heat but not directly over the flames.
- Nonstick Prep: Lightly coat the foil with butter to prevent sticking.
Additional Ideas:
For an even baking experience, consider using a Dutch Oven. Simply place the apples inside and cover with the lid, heating it for about as long as in the foil method.
