Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup (1 oz) freeze-dried apples
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅓ cup granola
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts

Equipment

  • zip-top bags
  • saucepan

Directions
 

At home
  1. Bag the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves together.
  2. Bag the granola and walnuts on their own.
On the trail
  1. Pour the apple mix into the pot, add about 3 oz water, and stir.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often and adding water if needed, until the apples soften, the sugar dissolves, and the liquid thickens a little.
  3. Take off the heat and sprinkle on the granola and walnuts.

Oven-dried apples work with less water. Contains tree nuts (walnuts).
