Description

Campfire Peach and Berry Crisp is a delightful warm dessert perfect for outdoor adventures. Juicy peaches and mixed berries are combined with brown sugar and lemon juice, then topped with a buttery oat crumble. Cooked in a foil packet or cast-iron skillet over campfire coals, this easy-to-make crisp delivers comforting flavors ideal for camping trips or backyard meals.


Ingredients

Filling

  • 3 peaches, sliced
  • 2 cups mixed berries
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup melted butter


Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, mixed berries, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly while ensuring the cornstarch is fully integrated to help thicken the juices as it cooks.
  2. Make the oat topping: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and evenly moistened, ready to form a delicious crust.
  3. Assemble the crisp: Transfer the fruit filling into a cast-iron skillet or prepare a heavy-duty foil packet. Evenly sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the fruit layer, ensuring it covers the filling fully for a crunchy finish.
  4. Cook over the campfire: Place the skillet or foil packet carefully over medium campfire coals. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, checking occasionally, until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove from the fire and let the crisp cool for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly and makes it easier to scoop.

Notes

  • Serve the crisp warm topped with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • If not cooking over a campfire, bake the crisp in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes until bubbly and golden.
