CAMPFIRE BAKED APPLES
You can make these in the oven and/or gas grill too using the highest heat settings but the campfire method is the traditional one. I have been making these babies for over 45 years -- I was raised in a log cabin and we made them in the fireplace coals all the time. The flavor is heavenly. This is a LOT of fun for the kids and, closely supervised, (and given a little assistance), they can make their own. Enjoy.

Steps:
- You'll need 12 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 10 inches long. If using a campfire, move back large burning embers to expose hot coals -- oak coals are best.
- Prepare each apple by first cutting a top-shaped "plug" out of the stem-end with a sharp paring knife. Keep the plugs to re-insert later. Leave the stems on if you wish.
- Use a butter knife or the paring knife to carve out all of the core and seeds. This is the trickiest part. Do not go through the bottom of the apple but if you do, it's no big deal.
- Into each apple insert 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. That should pretty much fill the void. Then, re-insert the top plug and double-wrap each apple in aluminum foil. (Some folks rub the outside of the apple with butter but I never bother to do this).
- Lay the apples on the coals and, after 5 minutes, roll them over so that the second side can bake. Roll them out of the coals after 10 minutes, let them cool for a bit and serve.
- You can make sort of a primitive bowl out of the aluminum foil wrappers and eat the apples with a spoon.
- TIP: Don't puncture the aluminum foil with a fork to turn the apples because all your butter will leak out! Use a pair of tongs if you have a big pair.

Steps:
- Fill the core of the apple with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Wrap the apple in a large piece of heavy foil, twisting the extra foil into a tail for a handle. Place the apple in the coals of a campfire or barbeque and let cook 5 to 10 minutes, until softened. Remove and unwrap, being careful of the hot sugar.

BOURBON FLAMED APPLES
Flambe! It's always fun to set food on fire intentionally (setting food on fire accidentally is entirely another matter, as I know first-hand). I like these over ice cream.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For the best flavor, use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and create a caramelized crust on the apples.
- Cook the apples over medium heat: This will help to prevent the apples from burning and allow them to cook through evenly.
- Stir the apples frequently: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Add spices and sugar to taste: You can add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the apples for extra flavor. You can also add sugar to taste, if desired.
- Serve the apples warm: Apples by the fire are best served warm, either on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Apples by the fire is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cozy night in front of the fire.
