With April 13 recognizing National Peach Cobbler Day and April 28 marking National Blueberry Pie Day, it’s a good reason to incorporate these two fruits into your camping menus this month.
Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler
Recipe from freshoffthegrid.com
Ingredients
Filling
6-8 ripe peaches
2 tablespoons sugar
Topping
½ cup butter, melted
1 cup flour
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Light your charcoal briquettes and line your Dutch oven with a round of parchment paper. Melt butter. Cut the peaches into bite-sized pieces and 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 butter is melted, pour into the dry ingredients and use a fork to mix thoroughly until you have a soft, crumbly mix. Spread the crumble mix over the peaches and cover the Dutch oven with the lid. Transfer Dutch oven to fire ring. Place 7 coals under the oven in a circle and place 14 coals on the lid to create roughly 350 degrees. Bake 20-30 minutes until filling is bubbling. Remove from campfire and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
