Description
These Campfire Apple Pie Packets are a rustic, gooey twist on classic apple pie—perfectly portable and cooked over open flames or on the grill. Made with tart apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and buttery pastry, they deliver warm, caramelized goodness with every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust or crescent dough, cut into squares
- Foil sheets for wrapping
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, walnuts, or raisins
Instructions
- Peel and dice apples into small pieces. Toss in a bowl with lemon juice.
- Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional nuts or raisins. Stir until evenly coated.
- Lay out a foil sheet. Place a square of pie crust in the center, then spoon a generous scoop of apple mixture on top. Dot with butter.
- Fold dough slightly around the apples. Wrap the entire packet securely in foil, sealing edges tightly.
- Cook over campfire coals or on a grill for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until apples are tender and pastry is golden.
- Let cool slightly, then carefully unwrap and serve warm with optional toppings.
Notes
- Top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce for a decadent treat.
- Can be baked at 375°F in an oven for 20–25 minutes if a campfire isn’t available.
- Use nonstick spray or parchment inside foil to prevent sticking.
