Ingredients
For the apples:
- 4 apple halves (either Gala or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Remaining tablespoon of butter, cut into 8 pieces
For the filling:
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnut pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Preparation
- Brush the cut faces of each apple half with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Spoon the filling into the hollows of each apple half.
- Place the remaining tablespoon of butter, cut into 8 pieces, on top of the filling in each apple half.
- Wrap each apple half tightly in a 10-inch square of heavy-duty foil.
Cooking
- Build a campfire and let it cool down until there is a coating of white ash on the coals.
- Place the foil-wrapped apples in or next to the hot coals (not on an open flame) and cook until the apples are soft, which takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. The apples are done when they feel tender when squeezed.
- Serve the apples warm, each lightly sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
Enjoy this scrumptious campfire dessert and share the warmth and flavour with your loved ones!
