Apple Crisp
Effort Level: I
This is a pretty common and easy trip dessert. You can use fresh or dried apples.
Often people add rolled oats or granola to the topping, but in my opinion that can taste too much like breakfast. Without the oats and with lots of sugar it's a gooey and crunchy dessert.

Serve Carolyn's Ice Field Ice Cream if you can. Just hop on over to the nearest glacier or aufeis and whip some up.
Variations!
You can add rolled oats or granola if you must or fruit and nuts like cranberries and almonds. I like to add 1 package of freeze-dried applesauce (rehydrated) to the dried apple mixture for a 'creamier' texture.
A Dutch oven is the easiest way to cook this, but if you don't have an oven, you can use a frying pan with a tight lid. Cook it over a slow fire with a little extra water and you'll get reasonable results.
