From , former About.com Guide

A camping recipe from Chunkydog32@aol.com. This is an incredibly easy dessert to make and is sure to make you the hero of the camping trip. Amateur dump-cake makers need not apply. This is a tried and true recipe used by countless Boy Scout troops.

Prep Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Bisquick
  • 1 1/3 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • cinnamon, to taste
  • 2 large cans of fruit/fruit filling (29 oz.)

Preparation:

Line a 12-quart Dutch oven with heavy duty aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Place on bed of coals to preheat for 10-15 minutes. Mix all ingredients except for fruit. Take Dutch oven off of coals and pour in fruit (draining if necessary). Pour batter over top of fruit. Add cinnamon on top, if desired. Put lid on Dutch oven and place back on coals. When using charcoal, place about 8 pieces on bottom and 13-15 on top. Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from coals and crack lid to allow it to cool.

Servings: 6 - 8

Don't halve this recipe!, Member sistersuz

Halved this recipe and tried it out for the first time while camping. The combined bisquit mixture (before pouring over canned fruit) was the consistency of skim milk. Thickened it up a bit with some bread crumbs (that was all I had). Used 1 can sliced peaches in heavy syrup but the end result was undersweetened mush. My husband said it tasted like unseasoned peach oatmeal. Would recommend much more sugar & spices and play w/ bisquit mix amount before using in the great outdoors. Smelled great but disappointed once we opened the lid. Peaches were delicious.
