Baking an Apple Pie over a CAMPFIRE!

Hi Friends

This weekend, I wanted to try something different. I wanted to make an apple pie while camping. Except, I didn’t want the “Dutch oven kind.” Nope, I wanted something unique.

I love smoke flavor, the kind you get from carefully crafted BBQ, but I wanted only a hint of it in my pie. I felt like it could easily overpower the tart apple if I over did it.

So, I got the coals nice and hot, and split thin pieces of oak and apple wood to periodically place in the coals for just the right amount of smoke, and to increase the temperature as needed.

Here’s a few pictures of the prep:



^^^Along with the traditional cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top, I added a small amount of brown sugar which I hoped would add a nice touch and smooth out any sharp smoke flavor.

Here’s the setup and a peek in on the bake:

Overall, I am super happy with the outcome. I actually don’t think I’d change a thing, when I try this again.

Honestly, it was perfect!

Here’s the finished product:

I hope to add some more campfire meals to steemit in the future.
