Prep: 25 min
Cook: 30 min
Serves: 8
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • •2 cups all-purpose flour
  • •1 cup sugar
  • •4 teaspoons baking powder
  • •1/2 teaspoon salt
  • •1 cup milk
  • •1/2 cup butter
  • •2 cans (15-1/4 ounces each) sliced peaches
  • •1/4 cup sugar
  • •1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • • Dutch oven
  • • Heavy-duty foil
  • • Heat-resistant gloves
  • • Large bowl
  • • Whisk

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare campfire or grill for low heat, using 32-40 charcoal briquettes.
  2. 2Line the inside of a 10-inch Dutch oven with heavy-duty foil. In a large bowl, whisk together the first four ingredients. Add milk and melted butter, stirring just until moistened. Pour into prepared pan.
  3. 3Drain the peaches, reserving 1 cup syrup. Arrange peaches over batter; sprinkle with sugar and, if desired, cinnamon. Pour reserved syrup over fruit. Place lid on Dutch oven.
  4. 4When briquettes are covered with white ash, place Dutch oven directly on half of the briquettes. Using long-handled tongs, place remaining briquettes on top of the lid. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until cobbler is set and beginning to brown. Let stand uncovered for 15 minutes before serving.

Camp tips

  • • You can use different fruits like berries or cherries instead of peaches.
  • • Serve with vanilla ice cream for a classic touch.
