Imagine the crackling of a campfire, the crisp evening air, and the irresistible smell of sweet cinnamon and apples. Campfire apple dumplings are the dessert your camping adventures have been waiting for. Easy to make, ridiculously delicious, and perfect for sharing, this recipe will make you the campground’s dessert hero. Let’s dive into creating this outdoor treat that’s as much fun to make as it is to eat!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 large apples (Granny Smiths work best for a tart kick)
- 1 tube of crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
The Simple Campfire Method
1. Prep Your Apples
Peel and core the apples, then cut them into wedges. Each apple should give you 8 slices, perfect for wrapping in the dough.
2. Wrap the Magic
Unroll the crescent dough and wrap each apple slice in a triangle of dough. Pinch the edges to seal and place them on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to create a pouch.
3. Make the Sweet Sauce
Melt the butter in a small campfire-safe pan. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and gooey. Pour the sauce over your dumplings and drizzle the soda on top for an extra layer of flavor and caramelization.
4. Cook to Perfection
Wrap the dumplings in the foil, sealing tightly. Place the pouch near the campfire’s hot coals and let them cook for 20-30 minutes, flipping occasionally. The result? Perfectly golden, gooey dumplings that taste like heaven.
Why Stop There?
Pair these dumplings with a scoop of ice cream or enjoy them with a hot mug of cider. They’re a hit with kids and adults alike, bringing everyone together around the campfire for smiles and sticky fingers.
