Freeze-dried apples simmered with brown sugar and spices, topped with granola and walnuts. A trail dessert in 5 minutes.

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

Directions

At home

  • Bag the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves together.
  • Bag the granola and walnuts on their own.

On the trail

  • Pour the apple mix into the pot, add about 3 oz water, and stir.
  • 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.
  • Take off the heat and sprinkle on the granola and walnuts.

Notes

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