At the end of the day, it’s a special treat to enjoy something sweet around the campfire. This Dutch Oven Apple Cobbler is as American as, well, apple pie and perhaps even more delicious.
The warm, spiced apple filling topped with a buttery topping is just the right dessert for celebrating the end of a fun day outdoors. Really want to take it over the top? Add a scoop of ice cream.
Yum!
DIRECTIONS:
1. Prepare your coals. You want them to be white and hot before you start baking.
2. Line the Dutch oven with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
3. Coat the sliced apples with cinnamon and sugar. Then, arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of your Dutch oven.
4. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon for the cobbler topping.
5. Slice the frozen butter into cubes. Then, using a fork, pastry cutter, or better yet, just your clean fingers, work them into the flour mixture until you have a coarse mixture. Gradually add the milk and combine them to form the dough for the cobbler.
6. Dollop the cobbler topping over the apples.
7. Place the lid over the Dutch oven and place it over the coals. Add coals to the lid (to achieve an oven temperature of around 350 degrees F).
8. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown. Place a serving in each bowl and top with a scoop of ice cream if desired. Enjoy every delicious bite.
