Apricot Raisin Cobbler

Shared by Front Row of Clyde, TX

Apricot Raisin Cobbler is a chewy, tart and vitamin-packed dessert that is easy to rehydrate and heat in one pot.

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

½ cup diced dried apricots
¼ cup white raisins
1 caramel candy (keep wrapped for sealing)
3 tsp dark brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch salt
¼ cup Graham cracker crumbs
½ cup water

At Home:

In a FoodSaver bag, seal the Graham cracker crumbs. Put that bag into a larger bag along with the fruits, wrapped candy, and spices. Seal.

On the Trail:

In a pot over a low flame, add water and fruit packet.

Open candy and drop that into the water, too.

Cover pot and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stir in graham-cracker crumbs and allow the pot to steep in a cozy for 5 minutes.

Suggestions:

I like to soak and dehydrate pecan pieces (¼cup) and seal them for additional topping for this recipe. When the nuts have been soaked in salt water prior to dehydration, they are pleasantly salty and crunchy.
