BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Cook Time Approx. 20 Min | Serves 4

There’s nothing sweeter than ending a meal with Seth’s blueberry cobbler recipe. This crowd-favorite unleashes a burst of flavor in every bite thanks to pleasantly tart blueberries topped with a crisp, subtly sweet oat crumble. It’s one of those camping recipes that gives gourmet, but is actually super easy to make – especially since the prep for its wonderful crumble topping starts at home. Let’s cook!

Ingredients

½ cup old-fashioned oats

6 Tbsp. flour

3 Tbsp. packed brown sugar

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ tsp. cinnamon

3 Tbsp. butter

1-½ cups blueberries

Instructions

1. At home, combine oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a resealable bag.

2. When you’re ready to start cooking, add butter to dry ingredients and work it in with your fingers until it forms a crumble.

3. In a cast-iron skillet, add blueberries over medium heat.

4. Sprinkle oat crumble over the top of the blueberries.

5. Tent foil on skillet and “bake” for about 20 minutes.

6. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
