• 1 cup granola or rolled oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

• Begin by preheating your campfire to a medium heat. If you’re using a grill, aim for a temperature around 350°F (175°C).

• Sprinkle this granola mixture over the apples on each foil piece.
• Carefully fold the foil over the apple mixture to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly closed to prevent any juices from leaking.
• Place the foil packets on the campfire grill or directly on the embers, and cook for about 20 minutes. The packets should be turned halfway through cooking to ensure even heating.
• After 20 minutes, carefully open one packet to check if the apples are tender and the topping is crisp.
• Once done, remove the packets from the fire and allow them to cool for a few minutes before opening.
• Serve your Campfire Apple Crisp warm, straight from the foil for a delightful and rustic dessert experience.
