Campfire Baked Apples

Note from Bob Carter: Max in Indiana is a frequent contributor to Camper's Corner. His addition of red hot candies to traditional baked apples makes for a delicious twist. While Max designed the recipes for camper's cooking over a fire or coals, you could also bake the apples in your oven at home. Try 350° F for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your apples. Multiply by the number of people you wish to serve. Follow this link for more great Camping & RV recipes in the Camper's Corner!

1 large apple of choice 1 T brown sugar 3/4 tsp. butter 3 or 4 cinnamon red hot candies

Core apple while leaving it whole. Place sugar, butter, and red hots in the hole of the apple. Wrap in foil. Place wrapped apple into hot coals and cook until apple is done. Baking time varies with the variety of the apple but is usually 10-15 minutes. Apple may be tested for doneness by poking it with a fork.
