The great outdoors has so much to offer: dinner by the campfire, getting away from it all and turning off the cell phone, listening to the birds and crickets. A hot cup of coffee in the morning and watching the sun rise reminds those who go camping why they love it so much. As great as camping is, one minor shortcoming is a good dessert. With a little ingenuity and some planning ahead it is possible to enjoy a delicious apple pie after dinner.

Building the Cardboard Box Camp-Out Oven

Enjoying a delicious apple pie is possible by bringing along a cardboard box oven, a frozen apple pie in a cooler or insulated bag and 6-8 charcoal briquettes. The first step is building a cardboard box oven and to do that the following things need to be assembled:

One corrugated cardboard box slightly larger than a standard pie pan

Two square pieces of cardboard large enough to cover the top or bottom of the box

Aluminum foil

5 Metal rods long enough to span the box from side to side plus 2-3 inches.
