Dutch Oven Caramel Apple Crisp

This has to be the best apple crisp I've tried! If you don't have a camp out scheduled just stick the dutch oven in your oven on 350 for the same time. Then indulge in a heavenly experience of warm and tender apples, crunchy nuts, and sweet oatmeal, all smoothered in melting cold vanilla ice cream.
