Easy Peach Cobbler



One of our favorite mouthwatering treats at the campsite. It's hard to go wrong, and the kids love to help! Homemade ice cream makes an added bonus.

  • 2 (30 oz) cans sliced peaches
  • 1 apple spice cake mix (or yellow cake and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top)
  • 1 egg (optional for fluffiness)
  • 12" Dutch oven
  • 2 doz hot briquettes
  1. Pour the cake mix into a bowl or pan.
  2. Drain the fruit juice into the cake mix
  3. Add a beaten egg to the mix (optional) and stir.
  4. Empty the canned fruit into the pan, spreading out evenly.
  5. Pour the cake mix over the peaches.
  6. Set the lid on top.
  7. Place the pot on approximately 12 hot briquettes on the ground (in a safely clear dirt area)
  8. Add 12 more briquettes on the lid.
  9. Allow to cook for about 45 minutes. You can test for doneness, but you will likely just "know" by the smell and the slightly browned look of the cake.

Variations: Some folks like to substitute the juice with a can of 7up or Sprite, which works well if you don't use egg. This recipe also works with other canned fruit such as apricots or berries. Experiments with wild fruit mixed with a can usually work, too.
