Whether you’re camping with family, friends, or enjoying a quiet weekend getaway, this recipe is a fun way to add a little sweetness to your camping memories.

What You’ll Need

Ingredients (Makes 4 servings)

• 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith)
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• Mini marshmallows or chocolate chips (optional)
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

How to Make Campfire Stuffed Apples

1. Prepare the apples

Wash your apples and carefully remove the cores, leaving the bottoms intact so the filling stays inside.

2. Make the filling

In a bowl, mix the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, softened butter, and nuts if desired until the mixture is crumbly.

3. Stuff the apples

Spoon the filling into each apple. Add a few mini marshmallows or chocolate chips for an extra treat, if you’d like.

4. Wrap and cook

Wrap each apple securely in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the packets on a grill grate over steady, medium-hot embers rather than direct flames. Cook for approximately 20–35 minutes, depending on the size of the apples and the heat. Check occasionally until the apples are tender.

5. Cool and enjoy

Carefully remove the packets using heat-safe tools. Let them cool before opening, as the steam and filling will be very hot. Enjoy your stuffed apples as they are or top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips for Making This Dessert at the Campground

• Prep ahead: Mix your dry filling ingredients at home to make campsite prep even easier.
• Customize your apples: Try raisins, caramel bits, extra cinnamon, or chopped nuts.
• Watch the heat: Rotate the foil packets occasionally for more even cooking.
• Make it a family activity: Let everyone choose their own toppings before wrapping their apples.

Always follow campground fire rules, use designated fire areas, and never leave a campfire unattended.

A Sweet Way to End a Camping Day
