Dutch Oven Apple Dump Cake

For one of our final camping trips this summer we decided to go out with a bang when it came to camping food. We decided to make a dutch oven apple dump cake and share the recipe here at Nature For Kids. It was easy for the kids to make and of course tasted better than when we make it at home….everything tastes better when you’re camping!

Dutch Oven Apple Dump Cake

Items Needed:

12 inch dutch oven

Charcoal

Pliers or tongs (to take off lid and move charcoal around)

2 boxes of yellow cake mix

2 large cans of apple pie filling (you can use fresh apples but you’ll have to add more liquid and let it cook longer)

1 cube butter

1/2 can of lemon-lime soda

Directions: Get your charcoal going. While their heating up dump apple pie filling in dutch oven. Dump cake mixes over apples. Slice cube of butter and spread over top of cake mix. Pour soda over mixture. Put the lid on the dutch oven and place over about a dozen hot briquettes. Place about 8 more on top of dutch oven. Cook for 1 hour checking periodically. It’s done when the top layer is slightly brown and puffy. No more wet cake mix should be seen.

Hope you enjoy the dutch oven apple dump cake as much as we did! What’s your favorite camping dessert? Share it with us here at Nature For Kids!
