S’mores are an iconic camping dessert that deserve all the hype, but they aren’t the only option when you’re hungry for a sweet treat around the campfire. If you’re looking for an easy dessert that is sure to impress all of your camping buddies, then this bubbling fruit skillet will be your new go to. With sticky-sweet peaches, bursting berries, and a buttery topping, this cobbler is worth every bit of effort it takes to start that fire.

The best part of this campfire cobbler? You can completely change up the fruit filling based on what you have on hand, or what’s in season! Raspberry-plum, cherry, and apple are some of our favorite filling options, but feel free to get creative. No matter your combo, we recommend using 6 cups of fruit total.

No campfire? No problem! Make our peach-blueberry cobbler in the oven, all year round.
