Instructions
- 1
Set your Dutch oven over hot coals to heat it up.
- 2
Mix sliced peaches, half the sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Pour them into the Dutch oven.
- 3
Whisk the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- 4
Stir in the melted butter and milk until a thick batter forms.
- 5
Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. Do not stir.
- 6
Cover the Dutch oven. Put a shovel of hot coals on the lid, with fewer coals underneath.
- 7
Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the pot occasionally. Cook until the top is golden and firm.
- 8
Let the cobbler cool slightly. Serve it warm.
Chef's tips
Put more hot coals on the lid than underneath. This helps the topping brown nicely instead of just boiling the fruit.
Storage
Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 1 day, or refrigerate up to 3 days.
Reheating
Warm over low coals or in an oven at 325°F until heated through.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Putting too many coals underneath, which burns the fruit before the top bakes
- •Not heating the Dutch oven first, which leads to uneven baking
