Peach Cobbler

My simple peach cobbler recipe cooks up in fifteen minutes on the trail. The bread crumbs absorb the sweet peach juices like sponges.

I’m sorry there won’t be any vanilla ice cream served on the trail this evening, but I think you will like this dessert just fine.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup peach slices, dried
• ¼ cup bread crumbs
• 2 tsp sugar
• Pinch of nutmeg
• ½ cup water

On the Trail:

Combine dried peaches, sugar, and nutmeg with water in pot. Light stove and warm for ten minutes over low flame. No need to boil – you just want the peaches to rehydrate and warm up.

Extinguish stove and stir in bread crumbs. The bread crumbs will absorb the sweet peach juices.
