Making Dutch Oven Apple Cobbler

dutch oven apple cobbler ready to cook

This Dutch Oven apple cobbler recipe provides a delicious apple filling with a sweet crunchy topping. It can be cooked over a fire or in your kitchen with an iron or enameled Dutch Oven, or even in a large skillet. Serve it hot with ice cream for an unforgettable dessert!

This has been a favorite and a number of campouts and is easy to prepare when teaching kids how to use a dutch oven. In the attached photos, you will see I used a Dutch Oven liner, which isn’t necessary if you have a well-seasoned oven. Liners do work nicely, however, when you are having a cookout with friends and you want to socialize after dessert instead of cleaning out your Dutch Oven right away. Sometimes it’s OK to cheat just a little.

  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Notes

Depending on your preference, you can use an unlined oven, or you can use a foil or parchment oven liner.  If using an unlined oven, make sure it is well seasoned and put a light coating of Crisco or vegetable oil on it prior to making the cobbler.
