Campfire Peachies
Ingredients
- 1 ripe peach (firm-ripe, not mushy)
- 1 large marshmallow
- Ground cinnamon, to taste
- Brown sugar, to taste (optional)
- 1 sheet of aluminum foil (large enough to wrap the whole peach)
Instructions
- Build a campfire and allow it to develop hot embers.
- Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Leave the skin on.
- Lay both peach halves cut-side up on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over both halves. Add brown sugar if desired.
- Place one large marshmallow into the hollow of one peach half.
- Press the two peach halves back together so the marshmallow is sandwiched inside.
- Wrap the peach tightly in the foil, sealing all edges. Repeat for each peach.
- Place wrapped peaches directly into the campfire. Cook for 3–4 minutes.
- Remove carefully using tongs - the foil will be very hot.
- Allow to cool for 30 seconds, then unwrap and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use double-layered foil over very hot fires to prevent burning.
- Do not overcook - 3 to 4 minutes is all you need for a perfectly soft peach.
- These also cook beautifully on a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat.
- Prepare foil packets ahead of time and store in a zip-top bag for easy campsite dessert.
- Optional add-ins before wrapping: mini chocolate chips, a drizzle of honey, a small spoonful of Nutella, or a splash of bourbon (adults only).
