This is an old camping family secret of ours, the scouts always loved it, and it was so easy to throw together that it was almost cheating. Feel free to try substituting your own homemade crumb cake recipes, the cinnamon crumb cake touch to the traditional cobbler is divine.
Ingredients:
1-21 oz Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake & Muffin Mix (other crumb cake mix will do, but this is my favorite)
3-16 oz cans peaches
1/2 cup butter
Note: I really like a lot of peaches in my cobbler, if you don't like a lot and having it kind of soupy, only use 2-16 ounce cans and place approx. 2/3 of the total juice in the bottom and the other approx. 1/3 on top. Also, a lot of the time I double this recipe slightly by doing two boxes of Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake & Muffin Mix and 4-5 cans of peaches (That way it goes a lot farther with only one 12" Dutch Oven).
Directions:
Poor 2 can of peaches in your dutch oven with peaches and juice. Poor another can of just peaches without the juice in the dutch oven. Save the juice for later. Evenly distribute the cake mix on top of the peaches and juice without the cinnamon topping. Then sprinkle the cinnamon topping evenly over the top. Lightly mix in(push in with fingers) the cinnamon topping into the cake mix leaving most of it unmixed on top. Slice butter into 6-9 slices that can be spread out over the top of the cake to make the top crisp when baking (don't need to cover it all perfectly, in fact, don't cover it entirely with butter that is just too much). Poor remaining peach juice over the top to help moisten the cake mixture(because the dutch oven is mostly sealed, the cake mixture will pull in most the peach juice from the bottom to bake the cake mixture and adding some to the top can help with this. Sometimes I don't even add juice to the top and I just let it all soak in from below. Both ways are good depending on your preference for cake texture). Bake for 40-45 min at 350 degrees F, it will be golden and crispy on top.
SUPER easy and delicious cobbler! I just used regular canned peaches instead of the pie filling peaches and so it turned out a little wet but was still fantastic. I did not add enough additional coals on top and so the cobbler wasn't all that golden so make sure to add coals as you go.
ReplyDeleteI tried out this recipe several times. It was a great success. I used Del monte brand harvest spice canned peaches to give the cobbler some more flavor. I also recommend to not use as much of the syrup in the cobbler to make sure it is thicker. I also placed in an extra can of peaches without any problems.
ReplyDeleteI tried this recipe with a couple changes and had great success. I used apple pie filling instead of canned peaches. To compensate for there being less juice in the cans of apple pie filling than peaches, I poured about 1/2 can of sprite over the top before baking. Everything else was prepared as suggested.
