Description
A delightful sweet peach cobbler cooked in a Dutch oven, perfect for campsites or casual family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4–6 ripe peaches, peeled or unpeeled and sliced (about 3–4 cups)
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided (1/2 cup for peaches, 1/2 cup for batter)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (or neutral oil like canola for dairy-free)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your Dutch oven over hot coals or your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Toss sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl and let sit for 10–15 minutes to release juices.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Stir in milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the bottom of the preheated Dutch oven and smooth the top.
- Spoon the sugared peaches and their juice evenly over the batter without stirring.
- Cover and bake for 30–40 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of peaches.
