Quick Campfire Blackberry and Apple Cobbler

A simple one-pot dutch oven cobbler made over an open campfire, with sweet apples, blackberries and a quick sponge topping.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar plus 1 extra tablespoon
  • 2 cups chopped apples or more
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice

Instructions
 

  • Light your campfire and sit and drink tea until the flames have died down.
  • Line the dutch oven with greaseproof paper.
  • Spread the apples evenly over the bottom of the pan and then sprinkle over the blackberries, tablespoon of sugar and mixed spice.
  • Beat together the eggs, milk, flour and oil until smooth, then pour over the fruit and pop the lid on top.
  • Place on a grill above the flames and cook, turning it every couple of minutes so it doesn't burn.
  • The cooking time will depend on the heat of your fire, and could be anything from fifteen minutes to half an hour, so keep an eye on it; when the top is dry and bounces back slightly when pressed you should be good to go! It will be paler than a traditional sponge so don't panic if it is not as golden brown as you were expecting :)
