What You’ll Need
To create your campfire cherry tart, gather these ingredients:
- 1 roll of pre-made pie crust

- Foil sheets (large enough to wrap your tart)
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
Optional extras: whipped cream or powdered sugar for topping.
How to Make Campfire Cherry Tart
- Prep Your Campfire
Let your campfire burn down to glowing coals. You’ll need steady, indirect heat to bake the tart evenly without scorching it. - Assemble Your Tart
- Start by lightly greasing a foil sheet with butter or cooking spray.
- Roll out the pre-made pie crust on the foil. If you’re feeling creative, you can cut the crust into smaller, individual portions for personal tarts.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling into the center of the crust, leaving about 1-2 inches of space around the edges.
- Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
- Gently fold the edges of the crust over the filling to create a rustic, open-faced tart.
- Wrap and Bake
Wrap the tart securely in the foil, leaving a bit of space inside to allow steam to circulate. Place the foil packet on the hot coals and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, checking occasionally to avoid overcooking. - Serve and Savor
Carefully remove the tart from the fire and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Unwrap the foil to reveal a golden-brown crust and bubbling cherry filling. Top it with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for the perfect finishing touch.
