• 1 large jar of applesauce
• cinnamon (optional)
• canned peaches, crushed (optional)
• strawberries, crushed (optional)

How to prepare:

At home:

Buy a jar of your favorite applesauce. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil, or apply a thin layer with a paper napkin. Add optional ingredients to the applesauce. Pour the sauce onto the baking sheet, spreading to an even 1/4″ thick.

Place in oven 120-140 degrees, door propped for about 5 hours. It’s done when it peels off the pan, and doesn’t look wet. Cut into 1/2″ squares. Place them in a heavy duty zip-lock bag.

At camp:

Pour enough water into bag to rehydrate the applesauce, adding more as necessary. Set aside while you prepare dinner.

Or to feel extra wild, just eat the apple chips straight from the bag; no water necessary.

A dehydrator works well for this too.

Hiking alone? Need to heat up your outing? Looking for something spicy?
Take along some of this hot mix and you will burn with desire – the desire for more mix that is.

chili rice crackers
wasabi peas
butter toffee peanuts
spicy peanuts
pretzel nugget pieces (honey mustard and onion or buffalo flavor)

Directions:

Begin with an equal amount of each ingredient. Combine all in a large sealed bag and shake until well mixed. Try varying the amounts to create your own unique mix.

Take a rather large onion; cut off the top one fourth of it and set it aside to be the lid. Carve out the center of the onion, leaving enough layers along the side so that the onion maintains its shape.
Place seasoned hamburger into the cavity of the onion. You can add cooked rice or torn bread to the meat before placing it into the onion if you like.
Put the lid back on the onion, wrap in heavy foil, and place on coals. Cook, turning occasionally, until the hamburger is completely done. Unwrap carefully and eat.
