Camper's Crumble


      Next to a dump cake, here's just about the easiest dutch oven dessert you'll ever make.  Mix a package of oatmeal cookie mix (I used Betty Crocker) with a stick of melted butter then sprinkle over canned apple pie filling in your dutch oven.  The top bakes into a crispy, crunchy oatmeal crust over the bubbling fruit.  I made this in my 10 inch oven with 10 coals in a ring around the bottom and 20 briquettes on the lid, in 20 minutes it was hot and golden.  If you decide to try this in your 12 inch oven use one package of cookie mix with three cans of pie filling and in your 14 inch oven, double everything.  If you're cooking for two, use half the amounts in your 8 inch oven.  Use any flavor pie filling and add cinnamon or nuts to the cookie mix if you want to dress it up a bit.  No measuring required and if you don't feel like melting the butter, just soften it and mix the topping with your fingers.  With very little effort you can enjoy this sweet and simple dessert around the campfire.

  2. I know this was posted long ago, but my scout used this as one of his final cooking desserts for the Cooking Merit Badge. It was such a hit, he was asked to help make it again at this years Thanksgiving feast for the troop. :)

  5. The beauty of a tent is being able to look outdoors from the inside and still be able to be dry in a downpour. Ahh, that special beauty of seeing the forest or the park through your tent windows as the rain is pouring down outside. That is Eureka!Toy Hauler Category manufactured by Keystone

  6. It is an ideal opportunity to give eight to 15-year-olds some experience of controlling a four-wheeled vehicle - and they are sure to love getting the chance to put their foot down under the guidance of highly-trained staff. Check our ATV Santorini proposals
