- 12 Eating Apples
- Mug of sugar
- Desert spoon of cinnamon or nutmeg
|
|

|
- Greenstick or kebab stick, 18" or longer, do NOT use metal ones
- Blunt knife
- Plate
|
|

|
- Mix the sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon together on the plate
- If you are using kebab sticks then soak them in water for an hour before using them so that they won't catch fire
- Only use greensticks if you know exactly which sticks are suitable
- Wash the apple in clean water, remove any labels and put it on the end of the stick
- Hold apple over hot embers until skin starts to scorch, but not burn
- Remove apple from the fire, scrape of the skin with blunt knife and roll it in the sugar mixture
- Return the apple to the fire and slowly twist the stick until all the sugar has melted onto it
- Remove from the fire, wait for a few minutes before eating
- Burn the sticks after you have finished
- Tip: Beavers and cubs won't want to wait for the apple to cool so get them to sing a song while they are waiting, all the time they are singing they can't eat and burn themselves!
