Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 4 medium Apples (Peeled cored, and diced (Granny Smith works great))
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg (Optional)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed)
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter (Melted optional, for extra richness)
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup Cold unsalted butter (Cubed)
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- A pinch: Salt
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice.
- Stir in the melted butter (if using) until the apples are evenly coated.
Make the Crumble Topping:
- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble the Foil Packs:
- Tear 6 large sheets of heavy-duty foil (approximately 12″ x 16″ each).
- Divide the apple filling evenly among the foil sheets, placing it in the center.
- Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
- If desired, drizzle a little caramel sauce on top of the crumble for extra sweetness.
- Fold the sides of the foil up and over the filling, sealing the packs tightly.
Bake and Serve:
- Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until the apples are tender and the topping is golden.
- Campfire Method: Wrap the foil packs in extra foil and place them near the coals, turning occasionally, for about 25 minutes.
- Carefully open the foil packs (watch for steam) and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with extra caramel drizzle or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For a different twist, try adding a handful of raisins or chopped nuts (like pecans) into the apple filling.
Ensure you squeeze out as much moisture from the shredded apples as possible for a thicker, more concentrated filling.
These foil packs are perfect for outdoor gatherings; simply wrap them in foil and heat them over a campfire or grill.
Enjoy immediately for the best texture, as the crumble topping may lose its crispiness if reheated too long.
