Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 tablespoon butter
Additional
- Aluminum foil (for wrapping if needed)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including apples, cinnamon, sugar, butter, and pie crust to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. In a bowl, mix the diced apples thoroughly with ground cinnamon and granulated sugar until coated evenly for sweet and spiced flavor.
- Assemble the Pie Packets: Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a clean surface. Place the apple mixture in the center of the dough, distributing it evenly across desired packet sizes.
- Wrap the Packets: Fold and seal the pie crust around the apple filling, ensuring the edges are pinched securely to prevent leaks during cooking. You may use aluminum foil as additional wrapping for ease of handling if desired.
- Cook Over Campfire: Place the pie packets near the hot coals of the campfire and cook for 15-20 minutes. Turn the packets occasionally to ensure even cooking and crispness on all sides. The crust should be golden and apples tender when done.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a tangy contrast or sweeter varieties like Fuji for a softer sweetness.
- Adjust sugar to taste depending on the natural sweetness of your apples.
- If you don’t have aluminum foil, you can place packets directly on a grill grate above the campfire but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Butter can be dotted on top of apple mixture before sealing for richer flavor and moisture.
- Let the packets cool slightly before handling to avoid burns from hot filling.
