Camp Fire Toffee Apples


  • Serves- 12 Toffee Apples
  • Cooking time- 15-20 minutes including preparation
  • Cost- £1-£3 (Depends on Apples)
  • Difficulty- 1/10 - Good for Beavers
  • Verdict- 7/10 - Leaders, watch those fillings


  • 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!


  • Roll the still hot cooked apple in brown sugar
  • Roll the still hot cooked apple in "Hundreds and Thousands"
