Campfire Apple Crisp Foil Packets are a delightful and easy-to-make dessert perfect for outdoor cooking. Combining tender apples with a crispy, sweet topping, these packets are cooked over a campfire, grill, or in an oven. They provide a warm, comforting treat with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Apple Filling
6 cups apples (5 apples any variety), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp apple pie spice
Topping
1¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
¾ cup quick oats
½ cup (1 stick) salted sweet cream butter, melted
½ tsp apple pie spice
Vanilla ice cream (optional topping)
Caramel sundae topping (optional topping)

Instructions

Preheat your grill to 350°F (if you can pre-set the temp on your grill. If not, just be sure to keep an eye on the packets as they cook). If you are using a fire pit, you will need at least 2-3 inches of nice hot coals to set the packets over. (It’s also important that your fire pit has a grate to place over the coals.)
Using a large mixing bowl, toss together the thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and apple pie spice. Set it aside.
Using a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, quick oats, apple pie spice, and melted butter. Set it aside.
Tear 6 – 10×18 sections of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Scoop 1 cup of the apple filling onto the middle of the foil.
Scoop out ½ cup of the topping on top of the apple filling.
Fold the long sides of the foil packets together, then fold the ends toward the middle.
If you are using a grill, place the packets around the edges of the grill. If you are using a campfire, place the packets on the grate over the fire pit. Allow the packets to cook for 20 minutes. Remove the packets and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes. Always be very careful when opening the foil packets. Top the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sundae topping if desired.

Notes

  • Preparation Tips: Assemble the packets at home and store in a cooler until ready to cook.
  • Variations: Add berries or other fruits, nuts, or change up the spices for different flavors.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the foil packets in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
