- Brown sugar (½ cup)
- Cinnamon (1-2 teaspoons)
- Butter (½ cup, cubed)

Step-by-Step Campfire Apple Crisp
- Prep Your Apples: Core and slice your apples into thin wedges. Toss them in a bowl with a sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon for that classic, spiced flavor.
- Create the Crumble: Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter in a separate bowl. Mix until you have a crumbly texture. Stir in nuts if desired.
- Assemble the Crisp: Layer the apple mixture on a large piece of aluminum foil. Top generously with your crumble. Fold the foil into a secure packet to lock in all that goodness.
- Cook Over the Campfire: Place your foil packet on the grate above the fire (or nestled into glowing coals) and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Your apples should be tender, and the topping golden and fragrant.
