Cranberry Apple Dump Cake
Here is a Cranberry Apple Dump Cake that would be perfect for Thanksgiving camping. You can also make it at home in your oven or on the grill.

I love cranberries! During the short season in which they are available, I buy a lot of them.
I love using them in both sweet and savory dishes.
I always have a dish or two on the Thanksgiving table with fresh cranberry in it. It is usually Fresh Cranberry Relish and some kind of roasted vegetables.
Over the weekend, I experimented with a bag of cranberries and came out with a hit.

Enjoy this delicious cranberry apple crisp made in the Dutch oven.
Other great fall camping desserts include Dutch Oven Apple Cake and Pumpkin Pie Cake.
Dutch Oven Cranberry Apple Dump Cake Recipe
Like many of the Dutch Oven Dessert Recipes I made, this recipe calls for simple ingredients. You need fresh cranberries, Granny Smith apples, lemon juice, sugar, apple juice, a yellow cake mix, butter, and pecans.

How to Make Dutch Oven Apple Cranberry Dump Cake
Prepare charcoal for the Dutch oven. We find that using a charcoal chimney or small grill works best for this.
Line the Dutch oven with a liner. Grab them here or use this tutorial to make your own.
While the charcoal is burning, prep the ingredients.

The cake turned out well.
I tasted it when I took these photos and it was good.

I had a serving of it later after it cooled off and it was amazing!
