My grandfathers, uncles, and my Dad were coal miners in the western part of Virginia and southern West Virginia - hard, honest work for minimal pay. The women in our families worked equally as hard in raising children and keeping house - and making the most wonderful meals out of the simplest ingredients! I have learned from my own cooking experience that the best part of preparing something is in sharing it with others who enjoy it, too. That is the purpose behind this blog: not only to preserve our family recipes, but to share them with others who can use and enjoy them as much as we have. Thanks for stopping by! Cris

Notes from Stephanie:
"We tried this at our Cub Scout Weekend camping retreat.  The boys almost licked the pan!  So good!  Want to try it next time with Apple Pie filling or maybe peaches."
Camp Fire Cobbler
Here's what we did:

Line a dutch oven with Reynolds wrap or a dutch oven liner.

First, pour 2 cans of cherry (or your favorite flavor) pie filling into the dutch oven.

Then mix in slowly about 1/3 can of sprite (you can use 7-up too, or probably most other sodas)

Sprinkle that mix with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Then gently pour a bag of white cake mix on top.

Optional: sprinkle about a half of a bag of Heath Toffee cooking bits into the cake mix.

You can sprinkle again with cinnamon and brown sugar, but that's optional.

On top of the cake mix and toffee bits, lay pats of butter (use one stick of butter)

Cover the dutch oven and put on coals, after about 15-20 mins turn the dutch over half way around and continue cooking about 15-20 more minutes. 

You will be able to see that the top crust is done around this time, if not, leave a few minutes longer.
