How to Make Camp Fire Easy Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler

  1. Peel and slice about 10 medium peaches (approximately 6 cups sliced peaches).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches with 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice.
  3. Cook the peaches until they are soft and have released a syrup, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Preheat your 8-quart cast iron Dutch oven. If using a campfire, build a medium-hot bed of coals.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  6. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in 1 cup milk until just combined.
  8. Pour the cooked peach mixture into the prepared Dutch oven.
  9. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches.
  10. Place the Dutch oven on the campfire coals, adding more coals to the top of the lid as needed. Alternatively, bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven.
  11. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Top with ice cream or whipped cream.
