Step 1
Spread butter on the cut sides of each doughnut half. Then sprinkle some brown sugar over the butter for a nice sweet touch. Take a pineapple ring and sandwich it between the two doughnut halves.
Step 2
Tear off four squares of aluminum foil and give them a quick spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Place each doughnut sandwich onto a foil square, then wrap it up tightly to make a little pouch.
Step 3
When you’re ready to cook, place the foil packets near your campfire. Let them heat through for about 20 minutes, turning if needed to warm everything evenly. Once they’re hot and melty, carefully unwrap and enjoy!
Serving Advice
Serve warm right out of the foil with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey. You can also sprinkle some toasted coconut or chopped nuts on top for extra crunch and flavor.
Leftover Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to two days but are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Reheat gently before serving to maintain the soft texture.
