- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or Earth Balance Buttery Baking Sticks)

For the Whipped Cream:
Instructions:
- Preheat a gas grill to high for 10 minutes, or prepare a campfire for about one hour 15 minutes to one hour and half.
- Fold each of the aluminum foil sheets in half with shiny sides together; set aside.
- Using a pastry cutter, 2 knives, or your fingers combine the flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and oats or nuts, if using.
- Place an apple in the center of a sheet of folded foil, skin side down. Bring two opposite corners to the center and fold down and smash on top of the filled apple. Turn the apple over and bring the other corners to the center, above the apple and fold down.
- If using a campfire, place a few small logs or thick sticks over the hot ambers. Place the wrapped apples directly on the sticks/wood.
- If using a gas grill, lower the heat to low so that the flames will not directly touch the foil. Place the apples on the grill.
- Bake for 30 minutes, turning over midway when using a grill. Turn over every 5 minutes on a campfire.
- Using a whisk beat the cream and granulated sugar until soft peaks form.
- Serve warm apples topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
