Name: Dutch Oven Peach Crisp
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 60 min
Ingredients: 1 pound ripe peaches (cut into 1-inch pieces); 1/4 cup brown sugar (divided); 4 teaspoons plain flour; 2 teaspoons lemon juice; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats ((not quick-cooking)); 1/4 teaspoon salt; 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, (cut into pieces)

Impress your fellow campers with this super simple, but incredibly delicious peach crisp. Your Dutch oven is the perfect way to cook up this crisp, with bubbly filling and a golden-brown topping.

The ingredients are easy to prepare, and the topping can be prepared ahead of time. A mixture of flour, oats, sugar, and butter can be placed in a sealable plastic bag, then blended together right before baking.

If you prefer to make this recipe indoors instead of camping, simply bake it in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 40 to 50 minutes. It will be just as tasty but may lose a bit of the cooking-outdoors “wow” factor.

Ingredients

Peach Base

1 pound ripe peaches cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup brown sugar divided
4 teaspoons plain flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Crisp Topping

¼ cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Equipment

Dutch oven
charcoal briquettes
9-inch pie pan

Directions

Prepare charcoal briquettes. Place three small rocks or other heatproof items in the bottom of a Dutch oven.

Peach Base

Combine the peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, and flour in a bowl.

Crisp Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining brown sugar, flour, oats, and salt.
Rub in the butter with your fingertips to form coarse crumbs.

To Assemble

Place the prepared peach base in the pie pan.
Sprinkle crisp topping oat mixture over the fruit.
Place the pie pan in the preheated Dutch oven and put on the lid.
Place nine briquettes under the Dutch oven and 18 briquettes on top, in a checkerboard fashion.
Cook until the crisp is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes. Rotate the Dutch oven halfway through baking, and replenish the coals as needed.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
