This is one of the easiest Dutch Oven Cobbler recipes I have tried, and recommended for a no-fail cobbler. I recommend you start with it. Success in the Dutch Oven is easy! And certainly very tasty after a long hike, or when the air becomes cool.
Ingredients:
* 1/2 package Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix
* 1 large can sliced peaches in heavy syrup
* 1/4 stick butter, cut into thin slices
* lots of cinnamon
Directions:
- Be sure to gather the following items before leaving on your trip:
a. ten inch Dutch Oven, oven gloves, lid lifter, long tongs, and lid stand
b. bag of charcoal and charcoal chimney
c. mixing bowl, can opener - Once at your destination, determine where you will cook and place the pot of finished cobbler.
a. A metal pizza pan placed on top of trivets works well. You'll need one for each Dutch Oven dish. - Start the charcoal in the charcoal chimney, or in the fire pit if one is available.
- Open the box of cake mix and pour half of it into a bowl.
- Slice the butter int thin slices and place them in a container of ice water (to prevent melting)
- Place one ring of charcoal briquettes under the dutch oven
- Open the can of peaches, and pour the peaches and syrup into the bottom of the Dutch Oven.
- Add the cake mix evenly over the top of the peaches. Do not try to stir the cake mix and peaches together.
- Place the slices of butter on top of the cake mix in a checkerboard pattern.
- Sprinkle everything with lots of cinnamon.
- Place the lid on the Dutch Oven and put 1½ rings of charcoal on the top lid. It should produce about 350 degrees.
- Cook for approximately 40 minutes, rotating the lid about 180 degrees about half way through to make sure heat is oven.
NOTE: I make no claim to the originality for the actual recipe. There are variations on it in some form in almost every Dutch Oven cookbook. This happens to be one of the easiest cobbler recipes, and it is tasty and sure to please!
