Campfire Apple Pie
Experience the warm, comforting flavors of apples and spices enveloped in a flaky crust. This recipe is not just about the taste; it’s about creating memories with friends and family around the campfire.
Ingredients:
- 4-5 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons butter, diced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Aluminum foil
Instructions:
- Prepare the filling by combining the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Ensure that the apples are well-coated with the mixture and set aside.
- Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil, about 18 inches long, and place one half of the pre-made pie crust in the center, slightly overlapping it with the edges of the foil.
- Spoon the apple mixture onto the pie crust, making sure to distribute it evenly. Dot the top of the apples with diced butter for a richer flavor.
- Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the apple filling, creating a pocket. Crimp the edges to ensure the filling stays within.
- Brush the top of the pie crust with the beaten egg to achieve a beautiful, golden finish when cooked.
- Wrap the entire pie securely in the aluminum foil, ensuring there are no openings that could allow heat to escape.
- Place the wrapped pie on a grill or over the campfire coals, cooking for approximately 30-40 minutes. Make sure to turn it halfway through for even cooking.
- Once done, carefully unwrap the foil – be cautious of the steam – and allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your Campfire Apple Pie warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an added treat!
