Dutch Oven Peaches And Dumplings

Dutch Oven Peaches And Dumplings is the sort of easy laid back dessert that you can end up taking for granted. It isn’t until you are staring down at an empty plate that you come to realize just how awesome the subtle vanilla and lemon zest infused syrup was and how it clung to the just sweet enough dumplings. You’ll be wishing that you had more!

Dutch Oven Peaches and Dumplings: Putting it all together

1. Pre-heat your Dutch Oven to 350 degrees (here is a handy chart to figure out how many coals to use for your size Dutch Oven).
2. Pour the peach mixture in and  bring  it to a boil.
3. Once the peach mixture is boiling, spoon the dumpling dough onto the top.
4. Let the peaches and dumplings cook for 15 minutes. The tops of the dumplings should just be turning a nice golden brown.
5. Remove from the heat and serve with vanilla ice cream!

The Wrap-up

This dessert is best in the peak of the Summer when peaches are at their freshest. The peach mixture also makes basis for a mean peach cobbler.
