Drunken Apples

Drunken Apples
Serves 2
2 Granny Smith apples (or any baking apple) - cored (do not peel)
1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins (or both) (or any dried mixed fruit)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup rum (or enough to cover fruit)

Soak the dried fruit in the rum overnight.
Mix the soaked fruit and brown sugar.
Push the fruit/sugar mixture into the cored apples. Really push! Try to get all of the fruit in the apples.
Line Dutch oven with some greased foil (to help keep it clean) and put in the apples. Pour any remaining fruit and liquid over the top of the apples.
Put on the lid and bake over the coals (with coals on top) for approx 30 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
(At home, place stuffed apples in a glass baking dish and bake at 350 F for approximately 30 to 40 minutes.)

Mmmmmmm, that sounds like an excellent treat. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a great winter treat. I may have to try that one really soon! Thanks...

I'm working on a "kid friendly" adaptation of the Drunken Apple recipe, and also one that involves chocolate.

Will post them if they turn out okay.

Sounds like a good plan. We just bought a fire pit for our back deck, some of the camping recipes might be adapted for the back yard when we are not camping!

Our son has a fire pit, and we spent a couple really great evenings enjoying the fire. We are thinking of getting one for our back yard, and yes, some camping recipes would work great on a fire pit. I'm thinking, s'mores. Yum.
