This easy campfire blueberry cobbler recipe is the perfect dessert to pack for your next camping trip. I love that this dish only requires two ingredients and cooking over the campfire (or barbecue grill) makes cleanup a breeze!

We had this blueberry cobbler one weekend while camping at Summit Lake. It’s a beautiful spot, but oh boy, did the rain pour!

After a soggy day of fishing, we were especially happy to treat ourselves to some blueberry cobbler. Warm, gooey, and eaten straight from the foil pan, it was the perfect way to warm up.

A pie iron camp cooker makes cooking over the open fire super easy. Check out these 20+ Pie Iron Recipe Ideas for tons of camp cooker inspiration! Or visit my how to use a pie iron post for tips.
Foil pie plates make tinfoil packet meals even easier with the sturdy base that they provide.
These grilling bags that I recently found are amazing! Simply add all of your ingredients to the bag at home, then throw it on the campfire or grill when camping in the great outdoors. Avoid the grill bags with plastic windows, though, as they melt.
We love these BBQ cooking gloves because they make handling campfire food a whole lot safer!

How to Make a Tinfoil Packet

Cut two pieces of aluminum foil large enough to cover the entire meal (about 12″). Layer them one on top of the other. Optional: spray the interior with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
Place recipe ingredients in the center. Bring up the longer edges of the foil and fold together. Grasp one end and roll it up, repeating with the other end.
Alternatively, foil pie plates may be used to cook foil packet meals. Simply place the recipe ingredients into the pie plate and cover with aluminum foil before cooking.
For best results, cook the foil packet on a grill over the open fire.
Use caution when handling the foil packet, as it can become hot while cooking.

How to Make Campfire Blueberry Cobbler

Dessert doesn’t get much easier than this!

Ingredients

Refrigerated biscuit dough – Just pop open the tube and plop the biscuits on top.
Blueberry pie filling – We love to use blueberry filling, but you could switch it out for apple or cherry pie filling too.

Instructions

1. Open the pie filling and scoop it into an aluminum baking dish or foil pie plate that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

2. Open the container of biscuits and lay the biscuit dough on top of the filling.

3. Cover the dish with tinfoil and bake over the campfire on low for 20–30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the pie filling bubbles.

Tip: This dish can also be cooked on the barbecue on the lowest heat setting for 20-30 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on the temperature of your cobbler so that the bottom doesn’t burn.

4. Let the cobbler sit for about 5–10 minutes, then grab a serving spoon and dig in!

Doesn’t this look so delicious?! Bonus points if you top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream! Yum!

Tips and Tricks

Use a foil pie plate or small cast iron skillet for easy serving and cleanup.
Cover tightly with foil so the heat circulates and cooks evenly.
If the bottom starts browning too fast, lift it higher over the hot coals or shift to a grill on low heat.
Try making individual portions in small foil trays for grab-and-go desserts.
Add a splash of lemon juice to the pie filling for a little zing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this cobbler with fresh blueberries?
Yes! You can make a quick homemade blueberry pie filling by simmering fresh blueberries, brown sugar, and a little lemon juice in a small pot. Pack it in an airtight container and take it with you to the campsite!

How do I make campfire cobbler in a Dutch oven?
For a Dutch oven blueberry cobbler, use a cast iron Dutch oven, layer in your filling and biscuits, cover, and place on charcoal briquettes. Bake for about 30–40 minutes, rotating the oven and lid every 15 minutes.

What’s the best way to store leftover cobbler?
Store cooled cobbler in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, and keep it in a cooler or fridge. Reheat over the camp stove or enjoy cold!

Can I use cake mix instead of biscuits?
Absolutely! For a fun twist on the classic, pour a box of yellow cake mix over the canned pie filling, drizzle with melted butter, and cook the same way. Sooo good!

Is this recipe gluten-free?
Not as-is, but you can swap in gluten-free biscuits or use a homemade topping.
