01
Step 1
Start by spreading butter on the cut sides of each doughnut half. Then sprinkle brown sugar over the butter for a nice sweet touch. Take a pineapple ring and sandwich it between the two halves of the doughnut.

Step 2
Next, grab some aluminum foil squares and spray them lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place each doughnut sandwich on a foil square and wrap it up tightly, making sure it’s sealed well so nothing leaks out.

Step 3
When you’re ready to cook, place the foil packets near your campfire. Let them heat through for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally if you can, until everything is warm and melty. Then carefully unwrap and enjoy your gooey, fruity treat!
Why you’ll love it
This dessert is a perfect blend of sweet pineapple and warm, comforting cake. It’s easy to make outdoors and brings a tropical twist to classic campfire treats. Everyone will love the caramelized flavors and soft texture.
How to serve
Serve warm straight from the fire with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of toasted coconut or chopped nuts adds extra crunch and flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a warm oven or over low heat on the stove to keep the cake soft and moist.
