Cherry Cobbler

There is nothing better in the world than a campfire, fresh cherries, a dutch oven and your kids enjoying the outdoors. As I have grown older I have learned to really appreciate the moments camping with my family because I know they will become less frequent as they get older. I cherish what moments I have left with them because as they begin adulthood I will see less and less of them. Unless I start using Snapchat, then I can look at them all the damn time. Geez, don’t they have anything else to do?

Dutch Oven Cherry Cobbler is our family’s second favorite camping dessert… right behind s’mores. S’mores are hard to top. For this recipe (and I have a hard time calling this a recipe because it is so easy) I am not going to be doing the cobbler over coals but at home in the oven. I mean we all can’t always just pack up and head to the mountains every week… or could we?

The hardest part with this cherry cobbler is pitting the cherries because I know nobody would buy the canned cherry filling. Right? I mean fresh cherries are so amazing. To help speed up the pitting (because I couldn’t find those teens) I used this cherry pitter and it saved me so much time. I highly recommend it for those who cannot find the teens.

This recipe requires just a handful of ingredients because when camping space can be limited. You just need cherries, yellow cake mix, brown sugar, butter and Sprite. It’s simple quick and easy. I hope you enjoy this simple easy camping dessert.
