Summer is here and peaches are in season! The best way to celebrate is by making yourself this heavenly Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler for dessert on your next camping trip!
Ingredients
Filling
6-8ripe peaches
2tablespoonssugar
Topping
½cupbuttermelted
1cupflour120g
½cupsugar60g
1teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonsalt
whipped creamoptional
Instructions
Start your campfire so you'll have embers to work with, or light your charcoal briquettes. Line the Dutch oven with a round of parchment paper.
Place the butter in an enamel or metal bowl and set it near the campfire to melt.
Cut the peaches into bite-sized pieces. Place them in the lined Dutch oven and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Mix the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Once the butter is melted, pour it in to the dry ingredients. Using a fork, mix thoroughly until you reach a soft, crumbly consistency.
Spread the crumbly topping over the peaches in the Dutch oven. Cover with the lid.
Transfer the Dutch oven to the fire ring. Place 7 coals under the oven in a circle, and place 14 coals on the lid to create ~350F heat. Bake 20-30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden. You may need to add coals if they begin to cool down.
Remove from the campfire and serve with whipped cream!
Notes
To make this in an oven: Recipe remains the same. If using an enameled Dutch oven or glass baking dish, you can simply grease it with some butter instead of lining with parchment. Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes until the filling is bubbling and topping is golden.
