Fire-side Desserts

Choco-raspberry Burritos

four 8-9" flour tortillas
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 T. melted butter
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

At home, mix sugar, cinnamon, store in a zip-lock baggie. Don't forget to
bring it with you camping. At campside, stack tortillas, wrap in a piece of
foil; grill over indirect (med-low) heat, turning once, about 5 minutes
until they are warm, pliable. Sprinkle 1/4 cup each of chocolate chips,
raspberries in center of each tortilla; fold in sides, roll up (like a
typical burrito). Brush rolls with half of melted butter. Grill burritos
over indirect (med-low) heat, turning once, about 3 minutes, until they
start to show grill marks, chocolate chips are melted. Remove from heat,
brush with remaining butter. Sprinkle with stored sugar, cinnamon mixture.
Serve warm. These can be made at home on the grill too. They are great with
a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Kids love them!!

Apple Pie On a stick

a great one for a campfire.

1 jonathan or rome apple for each person
1 cup granulated sugar
1 T. cinnamon


Push a stick or dowel through apple top until apple is secure on stick.
Place apple 2-3" above hot coals, turn apple while roasting it. As apple
cooks, skin browns, juice drips out. When skin is loose, remove apple from
fire, but leave it on stick. Peel hot skin off very carefully. Combine
sugar, cinnamon. Roll apple in sugar-cinnamon mixture, then return it to
roast over coals, letting mixture heat to form a glaze around apple. Remove
from coals, let it cool.
