When the campfire is glowing and the air starts to cool, there’s nothing more comforting than a warm, sweet dessert pulled straight from the coals. This Campfire Apple Bread Pudding hits every cozy note—tart apples, buttery bread, cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins all wrapped up and baked in foil.

It’s everything you love about fall, made rustic and outdoorsy!

Cooking Steps

1
Slice French bread into 1/2-inch slices, then cube.
2
Butter both sides of each slice before cubing.
3
Dice apples and add to a large bowl with the bread.
4
Add lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, apple cider, and chopped nuts to the bowl.
5
Gently toss until everything is well coated and mixed.
6
Divide the mixture into two foil packets, using the drugstore-wrap method (folding the sides like a wrapped sandwich).
7
Place on a wire rack over glowing coals, or wrap again with newspapers and place directly on the coals.
8
Cook for 20 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs.

Serve It Up

Carefully unwrap each packet (watch for steam).
Spoon warm bread pudding into bowls.
Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Best served immediately while gooey and hot!
