What You’ll Need
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s make sure your campfire kitchen is ready. You’ll need:
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1-2 cups of apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Foil sheets (large enough to wrap each turnover)
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
Optional extras: powdered sugar for dusting or caramel sauce for drizzling.
How to Make Campfire Apple Turnovers
- Prep Your Fire
Build your campfire and let it burn down to hot coals. You’ll need consistent, indirect heat to cook the turnovers evenly without burning them. - Assemble the Turnovers
- Lay out a sheet of foil and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
- Spoon a small amount of apple pie filling onto each triangle, leaving space around the edges.
- Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the filling for extra flavor.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
- Wrap and Cook
Wrap each turnover in a foil packet, ensuring it’s sealed but with enough space for the dough to expand slightly. Place the packets on the hot coals, flipping them occasionally for even cooking. - Enjoy the Magic
After about 10-15 minutes, carefully remove the packets from the coals and let them cool slightly. Open the foil to reveal golden-brown turnovers with a warm, fragrant apple filling.
Why You’ll Love These Turnovers
Not only are these turnovers easy to customize (try swapping apples for berries or adding nuts), but they’re also a crowd-pleaser. The crisp, buttery dough combined with the sweet, spiced apples creates a dessert that feels indulgent yet simple enough to make in the great outdoors.
