This warm cobbler is one of our favorite ways to end a busy day of fishing, hiking, swimming or rafting. It's yummy with ice cream—and so easy to make! —June Dress, Boise, Idaho

Ingredients

2 cans (21 ounces each) raspberry pie filling
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
1-1/4 cups water
1/2 cup canola oil
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Prepare grill or campfire for low heat, using 16-20 charcoal briquettes or large wood chips.
Line an ovenproof Dutch oven with heavy-duty aluminum foil; add pie filling. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water and oil. Spread over pie filling.
Cover Dutch oven. When briquettes or wood chips are covered with white ash, place Dutch oven directly on top of 8-10 of them. Using long-handled tongs, place remaining briquettes on pan cover.
Cook until filling is bubbly and a toothpick inserted in the topping comes out clean, 30-40 minutes. To check for doneness, use the tongs to carefully lift the cover. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Editor's Note

This recipe does not use eggs.

At home, this could be put in a crockpot and cooked on high for a couple of hours.

Can this be made in just foil or something else? I don't have a dutch oven.

We do this all of the time. We like one can cherries, and one can peaches. We also use butter instead of oil.

This is a great dessert when camping. I've made it numerous times using different fillings (especially cherry). Also use lemon-lime soda instead of water in my recipe. Get the kids involved and make your own icecream (Tin Can ice cream). Kids roll the can around the campsite therefore making the icecream while having fun.

We call this a dump cake. Dump everything into the dutch oven and cook. I have made this for years. Good with canned peaches or blackberries. I use a white cake not as rich and butter but will try with oil.
