Simple Dutch Oven Desserts

BEFORE you start, think about how much room you have to bake in, and reduce the amounts accordingly. You might try half an inch of filling and half an inch of cake mix for starters. If in doubt, ask a Troop Guide or adult. Will it stick? How can you handle that? How fast will it cook? How will you check it?

Cherry Crisp

• 2 cans cherry pie filling
• 2 sticks butter, melted
• 1 white cake mix
• 1-3/4 c chopped nuts

Pour pie filling in bottom of oven. Sprinkle cake mix over top and DO NOT STIR. Top with nuts. Pour melted butter over top. Bake for about 30 min at 350 degrees.

Dump Cobbler

• 1 pkg yellow or white cake mix
• 2 cans pie filling or 1 large can fruit cocktail
• Cinnamon
• Butter

Pour cans of filling or fruit cocktail in bottom of Dutch oven. Sprinkle cake mix over top of fruit, DO NOT STIR! Sprinkle with cinnamon and cut pads of butter and let fall on surface. DO NOT STIR, it will burn. Cover and bake until bubbly and top is lightly browned, about 30-45 min. Any combination of fruits can be used. I recommend 1 can apple filling and 1 can of fruit cocktail.
