Print Recipe

A quick and easy peach cobbler cooked in foil packets over a campfire or in the oven, featuring juicy peaches and a crunchy cinnamon oat crumble topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen peaches, thawed)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed (or dairy-free butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 4 large peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them in a bowl with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add 4 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter. Mix with fingers or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  3. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches). Divide the peach mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing it in the center. Sprinkle the oat crumble generously over the peaches.
  4. Fold the foil over the filling and crimp the edges tightly to seal, ensuring no gaps remain.
  5. Place the packets directly onto hot embers or on a grill grate over medium heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through using tongs. Alternatively, bake packets on a baking sheet in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 25 minutes.
  6. Carefully open a packet (watch out for steam!). The peaches should be tender and bubbly, and the crumble golden and slightly crisp. If needed, reseal and cook a few minutes longer.
  7. Let the packets cool for a few minutes before serving directly from the foil or transferring to bowls. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use heavy-duty foil and double-layer if thin to prevent leaks. Seal packets tightly to lock in steam. Cook over medium embers, not direct flames, and flip carefully halfway through. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour and use gluten-free oats. For vegan, use coconut oil or vegan butter and swap brown sugar for coconut sugar or maple syrup. Drain excess juice from thawed frozen peaches to avoid sogginess.
