Campfire baked apples are the perfect camping dessert for those colder nights around the campfire. The salted caramel really takes this classic camping dessert to a new level!

Caramel Pecan Campfire Baked Apples

baking apples, (Granny Smith, Fuji, Gala)

tbsp salted caramel sauce

tbsp chopped pecans, (for topping)

tbsp salted butter, (softened)

old fashioned rolled oats

tsp apple pie spice

brown sugar

In a small bowl, mix the oats, pecans, apple pie spice, and brown sugar. Add in the softened butter and mix until a crumble forms.

Core

Core the apples and stuff them with the crumble filling.

Mix the filling:

Wrap

Wrap each apple in parchment paper first, followed by 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the wrapped apple over campfire coals, not flames.

Rotate

Bake for 35-45 minutes, rotating about every 10 minutes, so that the apple cooks evenly. Add in fresh coals from the fire as needed.

For Campfire Coals Cooking:

Line

Line the dutch oven with parchment paper and place your stuffed apples inside with the filling facing up so that it doesn&#39;t fall out. Cover with the dutch oven lid.

Place

Place campfire coals below and on the lid of the dutch oven. Note: You want most of the heat to be on the lid.

Bake

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the apples have softened.

For Dutch Oven Cooking:

Remove

Once the apples are cooked, remove them from the heat. If you cooked the apples in foil, be careful as you open them because they will be hot!

Top with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce and chopped pecans. Serve hot and enjoy!

Serve:

These campfire pies make the perfect camping dessert! With only a couple of ingredients, you can create delicious pies even while camping. Change up the filling for all different pie flavors!

The Best Pie Iron Apple Pies

pie crust doughs

apple pie filling (about one can)

Roll

Keep the pie dough cold in the cooler until you’re ready to use it. Unroll the dough, smooth out any cracks, and cut out two squares about the size of the pie iron.

Add a spoonful of the apple pie filling onto one of the squares.

Assemble

Using a fork, crimp the edges of the dough together. Place the pie pocket into your pie iron. You can use a spatula to lift the pie pocket if needed.

Cook

Heat over the campfire for 10-15 minutes, rotating the pie iron frequently. Once done, the filling should be hot and the pie dough golden brown and flaky!

Cool

Carefully remove the pie from the pie iron, let it cool for a few minutes, and serve. Repeat this process for the remaining dough and filling.

Campfire banana boats are a classic camping dessert. There are endless ways to customize them to create your own gooey and delicious banana boat creations!

Campfire Banana Boats

bananas*

chocolate chips (dark, milk,

mini marshmallows

graham crackers

strawberries (diced)

peanut butter

coconut

blueberries

raspberries

caramel sauce

Nutella

hazelnuts

almonds

Prepare

Layout 3 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. You can also use a piece of parchment paper as the first layer if desired.

Slice

Leave the skin on the banana and slice through the banana to the skin on the other side, but not all the way through.

Fill

Fill the split with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and any other fillings you want.

Fold

To fold the packets, bring the two longest edges of foil towards each other and roll them together to create a seal. Then, fold in the sides. Repeat the same folding process two more times for a total of three pieces of foil per packet.

Move some hot coals from the fire aside and place the banana boats on top of the coals. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping about halfway through. The banana boats are done when the banana becomes soft and the filling is melted.

Once done, carefully remove from the heat and open the packets. They will be hot!

Top with crushed graham crackers or use whole graham crackers for dipping into the gooey melted banana boats.

Serve these Mini No-Bake Cherry Almond Cheesecakes in small jars or ramekins. A great choice for a dessert buffet or for picnics. Gluten-free and sugar-free options.

Mini No-Bake Cherry Almond Cheesecake

almond flour (finely ground)

tbsp butter

tbsp low-carb granulated sweetener

cardamom (optional

oz low-fat cream cheese, (softened to room temperature)

firm Greek yogurt

low-carb granulated sweetener

tsp pure vanilla extract

cherries, (pitted, fresh or frozen)

low carb granulated sweetener

tbsp corn starch

Make sure the cream cheese has been softened to room temperature to avoid a lumpy filling.

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Melt butter. Sift almond flour before measuring. Combine flour with butter, sweetener and optional cardamom.  Divide among 15 4-ounce Mason jars or ramekins, pressing firmly into the bottom of the jar. (A shot glass works well for this job.) Place the jars on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned.

Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment, beat softened cream cheese with sweetener, then add Greek yogurt and vanilla and beat until well combined. Make sure you have softened the cream cheese ahead of time to avoid lumpy cheesecake.

Spoon into cooled jars and refrigerate.

To make cherry topping, combine cherries, sweetener and cornstarch in a saucepan. If using fresh cherries, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup water. Simmer until thickened, stirring gently. Chill completely before adding to cheesecake jars.

Garnish with a sprig of mint, if desired and serve. Store leftovers covered.

What a pretty summer dessert and cherries are my absolute favourite! The caradmom flavour  would be lovely with this!

No bake, sugar free and perfectly portioned? What's not to love! So excited for cherry season  - these cuties need to happen soon! Pinned :)

What a delicious and pretty dessert! And I love that you can freeze them right in the jar that you serve them. Thanks for sharing!

These are so perfect for summer entertaining Elaine! I love that you can make them ahead and freeze them. And you can't go wrong with cherries, in my opinion. Cute presentation in the jars too! Pinning!

These look amazing delish, Elaine! And I love how they're in mason jars!

These are adorable!!! And easy too :-) I love a simple dessert and making them in the little jars is perfect for spring baby and bridal showers. Thanks!!!

Absolutely stunning little cheesecakes Elaine, I just want to grab a spoon and dig in!
