To make this delicious Dutch oven apple pie, you will need 6-8 medium apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, flour, butter, and a store-bought or homemade pie crust.

Cooking

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it over hot coals or in an oven preheated to 350°F. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy
