Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler is a cherished, traditional treat the world over. This recipe is simple and delicious. Whether you are in the great outdoors or your backyard, get ready for a campfire treat that everyone will love!
In a medium-size mixing bowl, toss peach slices with lemon zest and juice, cornstarch, vanilla, and white sugar. Spread them out in a 12 inch (6 quart) cast iron dutch oven.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a cheese grater to grate butter into flour mixture and toss to combine.
Pour in half and half and stir to form a thick batter. Scoop the batter in large clumps on top of the peaches to form a nice cobbler crust.
Place the lid on the dutch oven and place the dutch oven on top of 8 briquettes. Place the other 17 briquettes in an even pattern on top of the lid.
Let cook, covered, 45-60 minutes until cobbler crust is lightly browned.
