Caramel Apple Crumble Foil Packs
Caramel Apple Crumble Foil Packs feature diced apples tossed with brown sugar, spices, and diced butter, topped with a crisp oat and flour crumble. Sealed in foil and cooked on the grill or in the oven, the apples become tender while the topping crisps up, creating a handheld dessert with warm, spiced flavors and a contrast of soft fruit and crunchy topping. The foil pack method traps steam infusing the apples with buttery sweetness and spice, finished with caramel sauce and optional whipped cream or ice cream.

Cup of Yum
Apples:
- To a medium bowl, add all ingredients, stir to combine.
- Cut butter into the dry ingredients with a fork, and distribute apple mixture evenly between the two sheets of foil in mounded piles; set aside.
Crisp Topping:
- To the same bowl, add all ingredients (except salted caramel sauce and whipped topping), stir to combine, cut butter into the dry ingredients with a fork, and evenly top the apple mounds with the crumble topping mixture.
- Seal up foil packs tightly around the edges to trap the steam in, place packs directly on grill grates, lower the heat to medium, close the grill cover, and cook for about 7 minutes, or until done (bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until done).
- Place packs on a plate, allow them to rest for 1 to 2 minutes, and be careful when you open the packs (use oven mitts) because there is a lot of steam.
- Drizzle with salted caramel sauce to taste and optionally add whipped topping before serving. Recipe is best warm and fresh.
Notes
- Cooking time can range from about 7 to 15 minutes depending on your grill or oven's heat output; watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Use apples with firm flesh and balanced sweetness, such as Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady; peel if preferred.
- Handle foil packs carefully after cooking, as steam inside will be very hot.
