Crepes

Difficulty: easy

Equipment: stove and pan

Ingredients:

Shake and pour

Pinch of sugar (optional)

Toppings of choice (like nutella, dried fruit, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, jam, etc.)

At camp:

Prepare shake and pour, with sugar if desired and with more water than directed, so it’s a lot thinner. Cook up and serve with toppings

Backpacking Apple Crisp

(I made this on a freezing trip and it was so good)

Difficulty: easy

Equipment: stove and pot

Ingredients:

1 ½ cup (1 oz) freeze-dried apples

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground cloves (optional)

⅓ cup granola

At home:

Add spices and sugar to apples and store in a ziploc

At camp:

Empty the apple mix into your cookpot. Add about 3 oz water to the pot and stir. Light your stove, then cook over a medium-low flame until the apples have softened, the sugar dissolves, and the liquid thickens a bit, stirring often and adding more water if needed. Once the apple mixture is ready, remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle the granola on top

Pineapple upside down “cake”

Difficulty: easy

Equipment: Pot and stove

Ingredients:

½ cup dried pineapple

2 Tbsp Jell-O Brand vanilla instant pudding mix

2 Tbsp instant dry milk powder

Crushed graham crackers

At camp:

Rehydrate dried pineapple with ½ cup water in pot. Light stove and warm for ten-ish minutes over low flame until warm. Combine powdered milk with ½ cup cold water in a separate pot or cup and stir until mixed. Add instant pudding mix and stir briskly until smooth. Pudding will set in about five minutes. (you could use just water for a less good result, but start with ¼ cup water and slowly add more until desired consistency) When pudding sets, cover with graham crackers. Spoon the warm pineapple over the angel food cake. Pour any remaining juice over the cake as well.

Gummy worms?

At camp: Combine powdered milk with ½ cup cold water in pot or cup and stir until mixed. (you could use just water for a less good result, but start with ¼ cup water and slowly add more until desired consistency) Add instant pudding mix and stir briskly until smooth. Pudding will set in about five minutes. After pudding sets, stir in all your goodies.
