Ingredients
  

  • 2 16-21 ounce cans of peaches in syrup
  • 1 15.25 ounce package white cake mix
  • ¾ cup butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar for extra sweetness, optional

Instructions
 

  • Line your camp Dutch oven with parchment paper.
  • Pour the cans of peaches, syrup and all, into the bottom of the Dutch oven and spread them out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix over the peaches, pressing it down gently to ensure it's evenly distributed.
  • Dust the top with ground cinnamon and brown sugar for an extra sweet touch.
  • Melt butter and drizzle it evenly over the cake mix. Be sure to cover the dry cake mix entirely.
  • Place the lid on the Dutch oven and set it over hot coals. Add additional coals on top to create an oven-like environment.
  • Cooking time is about 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
  • Scoop into bowls and, if you're feeling indulgent, top with whipped cream.

Notes

  • Lining the Dutch oven with parchment paper is key. This little trick makes cleanup a breeze — because who wants to scrub dishes in the wild?
  • If you don’t have melted butter, you can use a stick of butter sliced into thin pieces and spread evenly over the cake mix.
  • Peek under the lid around the 35-minute mark to ensure your cobbler isn’t overcooking. The top should be golden brown, and the fruit should be bubbly.
  • If you're not near a campfire, you can place the Dutch oven in the oven and bake at 350°F for about 50-60 minutes. This also works on a barbecue grill!
