Campfire Cherry Crisp
Serves 4-6
Equipment
Bonfire 2.0, Cast Iron Griddle Top + Hub, cast iron skillet
2 (around 410 g) cans of dark cherries
1 ¼ cups (156 g) flour
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (67.4 g) oats
1 stick (113.4 g or 8 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1: Build a Fire
Build a fire in your Solo Stove Bonfire. Burn 4-6 logs and allow them to reduce to hot coals. Set up the cooking hub with the griddle on top.
Step 2: Add the Cherries
Dump both cans of cherries in a cast iron skillet with walls.
Step 3: Make the Topping
Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and oats in a small bowl. Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and combine with a fork until clumps form.
Step 4: Sprinkle and Bake
Sprinkle the crisp topping all over the cherries. Cover with tin foil and place on top of the Solo Stove griddle. Bake the crisp for 10 minutes with the tin foil on. Remove the foil and allow the crisp to finish baking for 15 minutes.
