Camping orange cake with a twist

Miz-C: “Campfire Cakes …

– Oranges cut in half, eat the orange.

– Cake mix, make to the directions.

– Fill one half orange shell with cake mix, place the empty half on top of the cake filled half, and wrap with two or three layers of alfoil. Make sure it is wrapped tightly. 

– Place in  coals, not actual flames. Turn every three minutes.

– Test one after 9 minutes, won’t be much longer than that. Thank me later 😀❤️”

Campsite apple pie 

Melissa K: “Made this in a small camper stove. The cake rounds fit under the filament so I could brown the top … Pie crust is pre-done and canned apple filling. Sprinkled sugar with butter on the crust top and after baking for 20 minutes to brown the crust edges, I put it under the broiler for four minutes to brown the top.” Picture:Camping Recipes and Cookouts / Melissa K

Iron skillet roast pork with bacon

Keith – The Good Food Dude: “Bacon Wrapped Pork Roast! … I wrapped a pork roast with a thick cut bacon weave and seasoned it with a pork rub, laid it in my cast iron skillet that I had brushed with olive oil, cooked it on low setting until it reached 150 degrees (internal temperature) and then pulled it off and let it sit for a bit and it turned out perfect!” Picture: Camping Recipes – Camp Oven/Weber/BBQ/Dream Pot etc / Keith – The Good Food Dude

Baked apple brekkie

Dave G: “Backyard breakfast – baked apples. [Recipe] Three [apples] cored, but not all the way through. Stuffed with brown sugar, cinnamon and a slab of butter on top. I also added the same to the bottom of the tin [then] put apples into tin. Add about one inch of water to the bottom of Dutch oven, preheated over coals, put tin in and covered Dutch Oven and cooked 45 minutes to an hour.” Picture: Camping Recipes and Cookouts / Dave G

Simple breakfast pancakes

Capitalistwitch: “‘Double Dutch baby’ is what my mom calls this decadent breakfast creation. Combine flour, sugar, and some salt ahead of time, then mix together with eggs and milk over the fire and plop in berries as the final step. Smaller pan on top as it cooks. Delicious thick pancake with a flan-like texture!” Picture: Reddit  / capitalistwitch
