For many years S'mores have been the undisputed campfire dessert champion ... until now. These apples are guaranteed to make your mouth water. They are easy and great for camping or easy but elegant for making at home in the oven. Nothing reminds you of an abundant harvest and fall like the aroma of cinnamon and baked apples. These gems are easy to put together and easy to bake yet have outstanding taste.

  • Finally add in the raisins.
  • Now place the core apple in the middle of a tinfoil square and lightly stuff the middle with the brown sugar mix.
  • When full press 2 or 3 caramels in the center.
  • Bring the corners of the tinfoil up around the apple and twist to make a handle to make it easier to get the apples out of the coals or oven.
