Dutch Oven Desserts

Dutch oven desserts are simply the best. There are few things that taste better than homemake Dutch oven peach dump cobbler with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Dutch ovens are perfect for making desserts because of their versatility. You can literally cook any type of dessert in them from pies to cakes to cobblers.
Here are two recipes to get you started. The first one is a delicious cinnamon pecan ring and the second is the easiest Dutch oven cobbler there is. I hope that you try these and that you enjoy them.  And then checkout Dutch Oven Dessert Recipes for more desserts to try.

Cinnamon-Pecan Ring

2-1 lb loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1-1/4 c sifted powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c butter, melted
1/2 c chopped pecans<
Milk (about 4 tsp)
Chopped pecans (or you can use halves)

Lightly grease the inside of a Dutch oven. On a lightly floured surface, flatten the thawed dough slightly. Cut each loaf into 4 pieces (total of 8). Form each piece into a rope about 18" long. Brush each rope on all sides with melted butter. Stir together sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Place the sugar mixture on a sheet of foil.

Roll rope in sugar mixture to coat evenly. Shape rope into a coil in the center of the Dutch oven. Roll another rope in sugar. Attach securely to end of first rope and continue coil. Continue coating ropes and attaching to form a 10-11" circle. Sprinkle any remaining sugar over coil. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cover and let rise near the fire for about 45 minutes (this can be a great thing to do while the rest of the dinner is cooking). Place Dutch oven over 6-8 coals, and place 14-16 coals on lid. Bake for 30 minutes or till done.

Cover with foil last 15 minutes to prevent over browning if necessary. Cool about 15 minutes. Stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make a thick glaze. Spoon the glaze over the top of the ring. Top with pecans.

This is a very easy Dutch oven dessert. Just make sure to start it in time so that is done and ready to serve.

2 cans pie filling (such as apple or peach)
