dutch oven dump cake

As promised in my post about our camping trip, here is the recipe for the strawberry dump cake we made!

Don't be scared by the name ... it can also just be called cobbler, and who doesn't love a good fruit cobbler in the summer?

Dump cakes really are a staple when it comes to camping or grilling out. And they are super easy to make- hence the name!

We made ours in a dutch oven, but you can also make them in a regular 9x13 baking dish as well.

Fruit Dump Cake

Ingredients:
2 cans of your favorite pie filling- strawberry, peach, apple, blackberry, whatever you like.
1 can of crushed pineapple- drained.
1 box of yellow cake mix
2 sticks of butter

Directions:
1. "Dump" pie filling and pineapple into your pan and mix it all together.
2. Sprinkle the yellow cake mix on top (Do not add the other ingredients for the cake, this is JUST the mix that comes in the box!)
3. Cover the top of the cake mix with small squares of butter.

Now I don't eat nuts but I am told that the apple version is extra tasty with walnuts!

If using a regular baking pan then bake your cake at 350 until the top is golden brown. If using a dutch oven then make sure to line it first with tin foil for easy clean up! Enjoy! :)
