Best-Ever Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler

By Jeri H.

We like this a lot more than the regular "cake mix and can of Sprite" campfire cobbler. I put all the dry ingredients together in a plastic bag before we leave for our camping trip to make it that much easier!

4 cups peeled, sliced peaches* (or 2 big cans)
1 cup sugar
8 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk

*If using fresh peaches, combine fruit with 1/2 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Boil gently for 10 minutes. You'll have your fresh fruit and the syrup that you need.

Prepare your dutch oven with 8-10 briquettes on the bottom, and 14-16 on the lid. Melt butter in bottom of dutch oven. Add milk to dry ingredients and mix slowly to prevent clumps. Pour mixture over melted butter, do NOT stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in about 3/4 cup syrup. Batter will rise to the top during baking. Cover dutch oven and let bake for about 60 minutes or until top of cake springs back when you touch it.
