Using a charcoal chimney, prepare about 30 pieces of charcoal until the charcoal is white on the edges and hot.
Mash together the butter with the brown sugar. Add oats, pecans and cinnamon and stir to combine. (You can easily make this filling before your trip for super easy prep at your site!)
Remove the inner core of each apple with a knife and/or spoon. Be sure to remove all the seeds and core, but do not puncture the bottom of the apple (we don't want that butter to melt out of the bottom!)
Add about a half an inch of water to the bottom of a cast iron Dutch oven. Stuff the apples with the filling. Place each apple, filling side up, in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Cover with the lid.
Place Dutch oven on top of 10 pieces of hot charcoal. Add about 20 pieces of charcoal to the top of the Dutch oven lid. Cook for approximately 30 minutes (cook times will vary) until the apples are tender but not falling apart or mushy.
