You’ll need:

• 5 large oranges
• 1 (17.5-ounce) container of Grands! Cinnamon rolls with icing

Substitutions And Additions

CINNAMON ROLLS: If you cannot find the Grands! Cinnamon rolls for these campfire oranges, you can use smaller oranges and the smaller size container of regular cinnamon rolls.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Add chocolate chips along with the cinnamon rolls inside of the orange for a little bit of chocolatey goodness.

How To Make This Campfire Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

STEP ONE: Cut the tops of the oranges off. 

STEP TWO: Use a spoon to scrape out the orange fruit. Be careful not to pierce through the orange skin.

STEP THREE: Open the canister of store-bought cinnamon rolls. Place 1 cinnamon roll in each of the hollowed-out oranges.

STEP FOUR: You can either place oranges in a disposable baking dish and cover them with tin foil or wrap each individual orange tightly in aluminum foil. Either alternative will give you the same delicious results. 

STEP FIVE: Arrange the oranges over indirect heat over the hot coals of your fire. Cook for 40 to 45 minutes, checking at around 35 minutes, until the cinnamon rolls are fluffy and cooked through.

Remove from the heat and frost with the icing included with the cinnamon rolls. Serve in the orange while hot.

How To Serve Camping Cinnamon Rolls

Enjoy this tasty dessert along with classic hamburgers or hot dogs cooked over the open fire on your next camping trip. Of course, you could also make our campfire pizza or campfire nachos to enjoy along with this treat.

The best part of camping is the endless possibilities for delicious food, especially dessert. Our campfire banana boats and campfire chocolate cake are two such irresistible recipes.

IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing leftovers of this simple recipe. They are best made fresh.

Ooey-gooey s’mores have always been the traditional camping dessert. There are so many other ways to add a special sweet treat at the end of a long day while enjoying nature, and these campfire cinnamon rolls are the perfect example.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 5 large oranges
• 17.5 ounces Grands! Cinnamon rolls with icing

Instructions

 

• Cut the tops of the oranges off.
• Use a spoon to scrape out the orange fruit. Be careful not to pierce through the orange skin.
• Open the canister of cinnamon rolls. Place 1 cinnamon roll in each orange.
• You can place the oranges in a disposable baking dish and cover with foil, or wrap each orange tightly in aluminum foil. It is up to you, but the individually wrapped oranges are how I chose to cook my oranges.
• Arrange the oranges over indirect heat over hot coals from the campfire. Cook for 40 to 45 minutes (check around 35 minutes) until the cinnamon rolls are fluffy and cooked through. Remove from the heat and frost with the icing included with the cinnamon rolls. Serve in the orange while hot.

Notes

• If you are not camping, but you are still craving the campfire oranges, you can simply bake the cinnamon roll stuffed oranges in the oven. Bake according to the instructions on the cinnamon roll canister.
• You can save the scooped orange fruit and serve it with a canned fruit cocktail. That will make good use of the discarded fruit center.
• Remember that anything cooked over the open flame will be hot when removed. Cook with care!
