Fire-Baked Cinnamon Apples stuffed with oats, cinnamon, and baked in coals over a campfire.

Fire-Baked Cinnamon Apples are the perfect camping dessert, offering a sweet and warm treat after a day spent outdoors. These apples are hollowed out and filled with a delicious mixture of oats, cinnamon, and perhaps a touch of honey or brown sugar. When baked in the coals of your campfire, the apples soften beautifully while the filling becomes aromatic and slightly crispy. Not only are they satisfying, but they also provide a wholesome, natural alternative to typical campfire desserts. This recipe is easy to prepare and will impress fellow campers with its lovely presentation and incredible flavor.

This recipe is perfect for camping because it requires minimal ingredients and doesn’t need much equipment beyond a campfire. You can involve friends and family in the preparation, making it an enjoyable group activity. Plus, they cook beautifully in the embers without any baking dishes, allowing you to utilize the heat of the fire effectively. Enjoying warm, baked apples under a starlit sky makes for an unforgettable outdoor experience.

When making Fire-Baked Cinnamon Apples, choose firm, fresh apples to withstand the heat and keep their shape. Remember to adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste preference. For a deeper flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or using different spices. Be careful when handling the hot apples, and let them cool slightly before serving so everyone can enjoy this tasty treat safely!
