Campfire Cobbler
This cozy cobbler is made for campfire cooking, but it’s just as good on the grill at home. Juicy fruit bubbles beneath a golden crust, ready to scoop and serve. It’s a great way to wind down after a day outside.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Charcoal Briquettes I used about 35
- Dutch Oven 10-Inch
Ingredients
- 2 Cups all-purpose flour
- ½ Cup butter melted
- 4 Teaspoons baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 1 Cup milk
For the Filling
- 1 Cup strawberries chopped
- 1 Cup peaches about 4, chopped
- 1 Cup rhubarb about 3 or 4 medium stalks, chopped
- ¼ Cup granulated sugar
- 1 Cup fruit juice or water
Instructions
- Prepare your campfire or grill for cooking over low heat and add briquettes.
- Line your Dutch oven with heavy duty foil.
- Add the chopped fruit pieces and spread them out.
- Whisk the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder together in a bowl.
- Stir in the melted butter and milk until just moistened.
- Pour this batter into your lined pot over the fruit.
- Pour the fruit juice or water over the top.
- Cover the pot and, when the briquettes are covered in white ash, put the pot directly over half of the charcoal briquettes.
- Add the rest of the briquettes on top, using long-handled grilling tongs.
- Cook for about 35 minutes or until the cobbler is set and slightly golden brown. To check, lift the lid carefully with the tongs.
- If not yet set and lightly browned, cover again, cook another 5 minutes and check again.
- Uncover the cobbler and let it stand for 15 minutes before serving with whipped cream or ice cream if liked.
Notes
Use foil for easy cleanup: Lining the Dutch oven saves time later. I recommend heavy duty foil so it doesn't tear.
Watch the coals: Even heat helps the cobbler bake evenly.
Let it rest: Cooling slightly helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
Use tongs carefully: Lift the lid with tongs to avoid dropping ash into the dessert.
