Campfire Cinnamon Rolls Baked in Orange Cups for Kids
Hollow out orange halves, tuck a refrigerated cinnamon roll into each, wrap in greased foil and bake on medium-low coals for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once. Open one to check that the center is set with no raw dough, rest 5 minutes, then top with orange-zest icing. Plan on about 40 minutes start to finish.
Kids get to scoop out the oranges, build their own cups and unwrap a hot roll that smells like cinnamon and citrus. The peel acts as a little baking cup. It keeps the dough from scorching on the coals and gives the roll a light orange flavor.
This is a low-coal recipe, not a flames recipe. The foil packets sit on a grate or beside the coals so the bottoms brown without burning. Grown-ups handle the hot packets. Kids handle the spoons, sprinkles and icing.
