Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 c apples peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 c oats old fashioned
  • 1/2 c all purpose flour
  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1/2 c butter cold

Instructions

  • If you're cooking over a campfire, set up your campfire and let the flames die down to create hot coals. Place the Dutch oven on a stable surface, such as a fireproof cooking stand or a bed of hot coals. If you're making this at home, you can use your regular oven and preheat it to 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss the apples until they are well coated with the spices and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cold diced butter, and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Grease the inside of the Dutch oven with a little butter or cooking spray. Pour the spiced apples into the Dutch oven, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples, covering them completely.
  • If using a campfire, place a few hot coals on the lid of the Dutch oven to create an even heat. Cook the apple crisp for about 35-45 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crumb topping is golden and crispy.
  • If using a regular oven, bake for the same amount of time at 375°F (190°C) until the same desired results are achieved. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat or oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the apple crisp warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream
