A simple and delicious peach cobbler made with Bisquick, perfect for campfire cooking in a Dutch oven. This recipe is quick, easy, and ideal for outdoor gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Bisquick mix (240g)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g), divided
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 2 cans (15 oz / 425g each) canned peaches, drained (fresh peaches can be used in season)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), melted (dairy-free butter can be substituted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the campfire or charcoal grill with about 30 briquettes on top and 15 underneath for even heat; this takes about 20-30 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine drained peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat evenly and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix Bisquick and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Slowly pour in melted butter and mix gently until a crumbly batter forms, soft but not wet.
  4. Lightly grease the Dutch oven with butter or oil. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the bottom.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but allowing some peach to show through.
  6. Place the Dutch oven over hot coals and place coals on the lid for top heat. Cook for 35-45 minutes, checking at 30 minutes for a golden topping and bubbly peaches. If not ready, replace lid and coals and cook longer.
  7. Using heat-resistant gloves, remove the Dutch oven and set on a heatproof surface. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Control the heat carefully to avoid burning the topping. Use fresh coals covered with white ash for steady heat. Avoid lifting the lid too often to keep heat in. If topping browns too fast, move Dutch oven away from direct coals or remove some coals from the lid. Practice makes perfect; bring extra Bisquick and peaches for adjustments. For gluten-free, substitute Bisquick with gluten-free baking mix. For vegan, use dairy-free butter and vegan-friendly baking mix.
