A Scout’s Campfire

Dutch Oven Cobbler

November 27th, 2006 spryken

This is the recipe the Boy Scouts use, super easy and very good. It is so easy, most boys and leaders that I explain it to have a hard time believing it.

2 cans fruit pie filling - any flavor
1 box cake mix - any flavor
butter or oil

Pour the pie filling into the bottom of the dutch oven. Spread the dry cake mix over the pie filling. Place some small bits of butter or drizzles of oil around the top to aid in browning. Place 8-10 coals under the dutch oven and 12-14 on top. Bake about 45 minutes, until bubbly and the top is browned. Rotate the dutch oven 90 degrees and the lid in the opposite direction 90 degrees every 15 minutes. This aids in even baking and browning.

Yes, you can use any fruit pie filling and any flavor cake mix. No, you do not follow the directions on the cake mix box, use it dry!!

Here are some flavor combination ideas:

• Peach pie filling, spice cake
• Apple pie filling, spice cake
• Blueberry pie filling, yellow cake
• Raspberry pie filling, chocolate cake
• Cherry pie filling, devil’s food cake — you add a few dollops of
  Marshmallow Fluff to the pie filling (not mixing) to get a “Black
  Forest” cobbler

You can always add some cinnamon or cloves to spice up the pie filling.

Have fun and experiment with the flavors.
