Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
- 4 tablespoons Raisins or dried cranberries
- 4 teaspoons Butter
- 4 sheets Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the campfire or charcoal grill, ensuring you have hot coals ready for cooking.
Step 2
Cut out a core from each apple using a paring knife or apple corer, leaving about 1/2 inch of the bottom intact to hold the filling.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries.
Step 4
Stuff each apple cavity with the prepared filling, packing it tightly.
Step 5
Top the filling in each apple with 1 teaspoon of butter.
Step 6
Place each stuffed apple in the center of a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold the foil around the apple and crimp the edges to seal tightly, creating a packet.
Step 7
Place the apple packets directly onto the hot campfire coals or on a grill rack over the coals.
Step 8
Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs to ensure even heat distribution.
Step 9
Carefully remove the apple packets from the fire and let them cool slightly before unsealing.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
