Apple Delight

By Steve Yee

One thing to remember about scout cooking is to try to make as little cleanup as possible. The simpler the better. Here's a simple recipe that newer and experienced scouts all will enjoy. For upmost efficiency, I suggest serving this dessert in the aluminum foil. Less mess and less cleanup. That's what makes this recipe such a delight.

Ingredients:
12 Large Apples
4 Tbsp Sugar
3/4 Cup Biscuit Mix
Raisins
3 Tbsp cinnamon (or to taste)

Cookware:
heavy duty aluminum foil
spatula or tongs

Instructions:

1. Core and chop 1 apple in fairly large pieces. Peeling if desired

2. Mix 1 tsp. Sugar, a few raisins and cinnamon to taste with 1 Tbsp. Biscuit mix; stir into chopped apple.

3. Wrap in a piece of greased aluminum foil, leaving sufficient space for steam.

4. Cook in the embers approximately 30 to 45 minutes (The juice of the apple moistens the dough sufficiently.)
