There’s something magical about cooking over a campfire—and this Apple on a Stick recipe proves that simplicity can still be delicious. This easy treat transforms an ordinary apple into a warm, cinnamon-sugar coated delight with just a few ingredients and a little patience.

Cooking Steps

1
Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
2
Pierce the apple through the core with a dowel or roasting fork. Hold it over glowing coals, turning occasionally. Roast until the skin becomes shiny and begins to pop or blister slightly.
3
Carefully remove the apple from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Then peel off the skin and roll the warm apple in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
4
Return the coated apple to the fire. Roast again until the sugar begins to melt and caramelize, dripping slightly off the apple.
5
Let it cool for a moment, then slice and enjoy!
