Campfire Apple Crisp is a fall-inspired camping dessert that I often make for everyone. Simply because it’s quick, easy to make, and perfect for ending a cold evening at the campsite.
It’s so simple, there’s no reason not to do this easy camping meal, so treat yourself to something sweet on your next camping trip!
Ingredients
For Campfire Apple Crisp, I prioritize using very common ingredients, like apples, granola, cinnamon, brown sugar, and bourbon. These can be ingredients you prepare for other main dishes, so you can reuse them to make this delicious dessert.
Here’s what you’ll need to make 2 servings of Apple Crisp at camp:
- 2-3 apples, sliced about ¼” thin
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons bourbon (optional, but makes a great flavor!)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granola
Equipment
Here are the tools you need to make these campfire-roasted Apple Crisp:

How to Make Campfire Apple Crisp
| Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes |
Here are the specific steps I took to make this campfire-roasted crispy apple:
- First, you need to cut the apple into slices
- Heat an 8 inches or 10 inches cast iron skillet over medium heat, add sliced apples to the pan and saute in a little oil or butter until apples begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the spices, bourbon, and brown sugar, then stir it all together. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and the apples are tender—usually another 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle your favorite granola evenly on top.
You can eat it straight from the pan (my favorite way!) or put it in a separate bowl. This dessert can be served alone, but it goes great with a scoop of whipped cream.
Conclusion
If you are going camping in the fall, Campfire Apple Crisp is a must-have option. There’s nothing better than throwing another log into the fire and enjoying a warm, crisp apple pie to end the day.
