Once you’ve tried this Colorado Peach Cobbler camping recipe, you may come to the understanding that THIS is the reason Dutch ovens were invented.
You can hold out for Colorado Peach season which is focused in August, but this cobbler is so good you’ll want to make it year round. The canned peaches we used make a reasonable, albeit less authentic, substitute.
