Ingredients:
– 4-5 medium-sized apples
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions:
- Prepare the campfire: Before making the pie, ensure you have a well-established campfire. It should have a steady flame and enough hot coals to maintain a consistent heat.
- Peel and slice the apples: Peel and remove the cores. Slice them into thin, evenly-sized slices. Place the apple slices into a bowl.
- Prepare the apple filling: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Mix the filling with the apple slices: Pour the apple filling mixture over the sliced apples and toss until all the apple slices are coated with the mixture.
- Roll out the pie crust: Roll out one refrigerated pie crust on a clean surface to fit your pie tin or mini pie tins. If using mini pie tins, divide the crust accordingly.
- Line the pie tin(s) with the crust: Carefully place the rolled-out pie crust into the pie tin(s), making sure it covers the entire bottom and sides of the tin(s). Trim any excess crust.
- Add the apple filling to the prepared pie crust(s), spreading it evenly.
- Dot with butter: Scatter the small cubes of unsalted butter over the top of the apple filling.
- Roll out the second pie crust: Roll out the double refrigerated pie crust and cover the apple filling. If using mini pie tins, cut the crust into circles to fit the tops.
- Seal and vent the pie: Press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal the pie. Use a knife to create small slits or a decorative pattern on the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Cook over the campfire: Carefully place the pie tin(s) over the hot coals of the campfire. Use a grill grate or a wire mesh to elevate the pie for even cooking. Cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the pie tin(s) from the campfire and let the pie cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve the campfire apple pie while it’s still warm. It pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
