Effort Level: I

This is a pretty common and easy trip dessert. You can use fresh or dried apples.

Often people add rolled oats or granola to the topping, but in my opinion that can taste too much like breakfast. Without the oats and with lots of sugar it's a gooey and crunchy dessert.
-Mark Scriver

Ingredients

Serves 6

4 cups (1 L) dried apples
1/2 cup (125 ml) water
2 tbsp (30 ml) brown sugar
1/3 cup (80 ml) butter
3/4 cup (175 ml) all purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) brown sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 ml) nutmeg
  1. Method

    Step 1

    1. Heat the briquettes for the Dutch oven or get your oven ready to bake at 350°F (175°C).

    Step 2

    2. Rehydrate the apples and drain them, reserving 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the apple water.

    Step 3

    3. Place the apples, brown sugar and remaining water in a greased Dutch oven or baking pan.

    Step 4

    4. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle it over the apples.

    Step 5

    5. Bake for 30 minutes.

DRESS IT UP!

Serve Carolyn's Ice Field Ice Cream if you can. Just hop on over to the nearest glacier or aufeis and whip some up.

Variations!
You can add rolled oats or granola if you must or fruit and nuts like cranberries and almonds. I like to add 1 package of freeze-dried applesauce (rehydrated) to the dried apple mixture for a 'creamier' texture.

A Dutch oven is the easiest way to cook this, but if you don't have an oven, you can use a frying pan with a tight lid. Cook it over a slow fire with a little extra water and you'll get reasonable results.
