Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 3 cups white sugar, divided
• 6 cups sliced fresh peaches
• 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 cups milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Light charcoal briquettes in a campfire or outdoor charcoal grill; burn until coals are mostly covered in ash, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups sugar, then stir in milk until batter is well combined.

Step 3

Toss peaches with remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in a separate bowl; mix until evenly coated.

Step 4

Rake coals into a flat bed; place a campfire-safe Dutch oven on top.

Step 5

Add butter to Dutch oven until melted; swirl Dutch oven to coat all sides with melted butter. Pour batter into the pot, add peach mixture to center of the batter. Cover Dutch oven with the lid; place hot charcoal on top of lid.

Step 6

Cook until done, about 1 hour, checking every 20 minutes to prevent over-baking.
