What Makes This Recipe So Great
This dish perfectly balances sweet and savory flavors. The crispiness of the bacon pairs beautifully with the tender, slightly tart apples. It’s a quick and satisfying treat that can be enjoyed any time of day.

Directions
Build a campfire and let it burn down until you have a nice bed of hot coals. Push the coals to one side to create a cooler spot, or if you prefer, just preheat your outdoor grill. Place the apples in a loaf pan, then mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spoon that mixture into the center of each apple. Set the pan on the cooler side of the fire or directly on the grill and let it cook for about 3 minutes. Carefully take the pan off the heat, sprinkle crispy bacon pieces over the apples, and then pop the pan back onto the fire or grill for another 5 minutes or so, until everything is warmed through and the bacon is a little crispy.
Perfect Pairings
Serve warm as a side dish with breakfast or brunch. It also works well as a topping for salads or baked potatoes. Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme can enhance the flavors.
Storing This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a skillet to keep the bacon crispy and the apples tender. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
