Apple Pie Packets
Description
Apple Pie Packets begin with apples diced into quarter-inch pieces, mixed with lemon juice to prevent browning, along with cornstarch to thicken the filling, granulated and brown sugars, ground cinnamon, and cold butter cut into small pieces. This creates a sweet, spiced, and slightly tart filling. On top, a crumbly mixture combining oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter is prepared, which will provide a textured, buttery topping once cooked.
The filling and topping are placed on non-stick foil pieces and sealed into packets, then cooked either on a medium grill or baked at 450°F in an oven until the apples are tender and the topping is cooked through, which typically takes 8-12 minutes on a grill or about 15 minutes in the oven. The foil packets help retain moisture and allow the apples to soften with a concentrated flavor.
This method produces a dessert that features tender, juicy apple filling accompanied by a slightly chewy and sweet topping. The packets are convenient for outdoor cooking and portion control. Cooking times may vary based on heat source, so checking for doneness is advised before serving.
