Camp Food - 3 Cherry Dump Cobbler
Here’s a classic moved to the campfire. Our Boy Scout troop usually prepares a cake mix as directed on the box, then pours it over a couple of cans of pie filling, which is pretty impressive. Back in my young camping days, we skipped adding the eggs, oil, water to the mix, just sliced up a stick of butter and topped the dry mix. Here you have it - it’s still delicious (just make sure you’ve included the long hike to work a little of it off!).
Almost any flavor of pie filling will work well with this recipe - I’ve tried apple, cherry, blueberry, blackberry and they’re all great. Just pick your favorite.
Cherry Dump Cobbler
2 cans cherry pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter (yes, the real kind)
Pour the pie filling into the bottom of a foil-lined dutch oven.
Open the cake mix box and sprinkle it dry over the pie filling.
Slice the butter into 1-2 teaspoon pats and sprinkle evenly over the dry cake mix.
For a 12″ dutch oven, cook with 14 coals top and bottom for about 30 minutes. If it’s not ready yet, move most of the coals to the top to finish off (this will prevent burning on the bottom).
