Well, my favorite learned from my scoutmaster over 40 years ago.

Open Face Pie
One box pie crust mix- mix according to package directions and press into bottom and sides of two jello molds.
1 1/2 c dried blueberries - soak in a small amount of hot water until they start to plump up a bit, then add 1/4 C sugar and 2 Tbs cornstarch
Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust. Bake in jello mold ovens over low heat until it's bubbly and starting to brown on the edges.
LET IT COOL! Otherwise, you will burn the s*** out of your mouth (but it will still taste good)
Serves 6-8

found this in Backpacker magazine. haven't tried it, but sounds delish
1 tube of store bought crescent rolls
1 can apple pie filling
1 package crushed walnuts or almonds
aluminum foil
AT HOME
empty apple pie filling into zip top bag and double bag it
IN CAMP
Crescent dough typically comes packaged as six attached triangles. Separate triangles two at a time so you have three crescents total. Place filling and nuts onto the crescents, and roll them up. For each, create foil pouches that cover the dough; place them in coals near the fires edge (not directly in flames). Flip after three minutes, bake for about three more minutes (until golden), then unwrap and enjoy. Serves 3.

Blueberry Cobbler in a Jello Mold Oven (adapted/stolen from FreeLeo)
Here's what FreeLeo said: "We had a good JMO cobbler. I pre-measured the ingredients into Ziplocs. For the filling 4-6 Tbs reg or brown sugar, 3/4tsp cinnamon, 1 Tbs cornstarch, add to fruit with a small amt of water ,mix & put in jello mold. Topping: 1/2 C flour, 1/2 C light brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 C chopped pecans. Add 1/4 cup butter or marg. to the bag when preparing and mash around till mixed then cut a small hole in bag and squish all over the top of the fruit. Not sure how long it cooked, we kept checking till it seemed like the topping was crusty and fruit was bubbling. Some of the fruit we used was dried apricots we chopped up and rehydrated for a while, that's why I'm not sure how much water to add to the fruit. You can add nutmeg to either part too, if you like nutmeg."
Here are my changes: I skipped the pecans and nutmeg and used white sugar with the berries but brown sugar on top. Grease your pan and keep the heat low. See the thread on Jello Mold Ovens for tips.

1 1/2 cup powdered milk
2 Cups water (colder the better)
Mix powdered milk and water until no lumps
Add pudding mix and stir 5 min. Set aside for dessert with a meal
A lot cheaper than the prepackaged dessert puddings and really good...
you could eat it with vanilla wafers.

Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake
1 can (15 ounces) solid pack pumpkin
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 box yellow cake mix
2 cups pecans
1 cup butter, melted
First I lined my 10" Dutch Oven with heavy duty aluminum foil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon & salt. Pour mixture into Dutch Oven.
Sprinkle the cake mix over the top. Do not stir. Add pecans to top of cake mix. Drizzle with melted butter OR you can just 'dot' the top with the butter and it will melt in as it cooks.
Cover Dutch Oven and cook/bake for 50 minutes to an hour.
Charcoals: 10 on the bottom in a ring and 15 on the top.
Would really be great with ice cream or even whipped cream in a can.
If you want to make this at home you can just use a greased 9 x 13 cake pan, bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
Enjoy!

Fresh Raspberry cheesecake
1 box instant cheesecake mix
powdered milk (if needed for cheesecake mix)
Fresh raspberries

Make the cheesecake as directed on box. Works better early or late in season when cold water helps cheesecake set up.
Mix 2-3 cups of fresh picked raspberries, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and water to mix. cook the mix until it comes to a boil then cool. pour over the cheesecake when ready.
Also works with pudding but use less sugar or just add raspberries raw. Any other fresh picked berries works as well.

We have our new favorite jello mold cake recipe. We used to buy Jiffy Mixes and frostings. Our little store in our little town no longer carry them. So in planning for an upcoming trip we figured out a new recipe.
1/2 box cake mix (we used German chocolate)
dried egg of your choice (mix into cake mix and put in bag)
Put in separate bag:
chocolate chips
toasted unsweetened coconut
walnuts
add
1/2 cup water
Mix water with cake mix. Add coconut mixture. Spread in jello mold and bake. Doesn't need frosting because of course you eat it hot off the stove.
I was also considering other cake mix combos.....
Lemon cake with white chips, coconut and almond.
Spice or Carrot cake with butterscotch and walnuts or pecans.
White cake with white chips and Jordan Almonds.

Malberg Pie:
On our last night, we stayed on Malberg for the trip out from Alice, and found tons of raspberries and blueberries. I foraged for hours with my lab, Murphy, who had a super time ;) Then, I used the last of our leftover ingredients from s'mores and apple crisp to whip up a desert that we named Malberg Pie.
First, I mixed the berries with my leftover cinnamon sugar mix. The longer you can let this mixture sit with occasional stirring, the more time the sugar has to break down the fruit and make it more syrupy.
I formed a crust from leftover crushed graham crackers, flour, and melted butter.
Then, placed the fruit mixture into the crust, and toped it with a handful of marshmallows, some hot pepper spiced chocolate, and a cinnamon/sugar/granola/butter mixture (also left over from the apple crisp).
I did all of this in my alpine fry-bake, cooked the grate over a campfire, with a small fire on top too. It was FLAME ;)

WEEPERS
We just returned from a kayak trip to the San Juan Islands. Our guides prepared this in a Dutch oven. It was obviously a keeper, so we did it in the jello-mold a week later in the Sylvania Wilderness and it was even better.
Grease the JMO pan.
Open a crescent roll tube. Onto each triangle place an eighth of an apple and an eighth of a nectarine. Wrap 'em up and put all eight in the pan. They can touch each other.
Melt 3/4 of a stick of butter. Add about 3/4 cup of brown sugar and a tsp of vanilla extract. Drizzle evenly over the crescent rolls. Now, drizzle about 4 oz of ginger beer over the whole works. (WHAT? yep.)
Cook it till it is done, about 35 or 40 minutes I suppose. It'll look a little like caramel rolls.
Keep a hanky or something handy for eating them as you will likely weep softly.

Caramel Apple Stew;
This is a simple tasty warm dessert for two people.
We use (2) pouches of pre-made applesauce, some apple chips, Kraft Caramels, and chopped pecans.
Put apple sauce in a small pot and start to warm. Add dehydrated apple chips and simmer until apple chip reconstitute and applesauce thickens. Toss in Kraft Caramels (we dice these up into 4 pcs. each). When the Caramels start to get soft, transfer to small bowls, and top with chopped nuts.
Nice thing about this is we use ingredients we use for many other breakfast and dessert meals on the same trip.

Here was a crowd pleaser from my aluminum dutch oven in the BWCA. Pineapple upside down cake
1 yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 20-ounce can pineapple slices
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
12 maraschino cherries
Melt the butter in the dutch oven. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom. Place the pineapple slices and cherries. Mix the eggs, batter and oil in ziplock bag and squirt over the pineapples and cherries. The coal ratio is about 70/30 top to bottom. Every couple of minutes I quarter turn the whole pot and the lid to prevent hotspots. About 40 minutes at 350.

12 maraschino cherries
Melt the butter in the dutch oven. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom. Place the pineapple slices and cherries. Mix the eggs, batter and oil in ziplock bag and squirt over the pineapples and cherries. The coal ratio is about 70/30 top to bottom. Every couple of minutes I quarter turn the whole pot and the lid to prevent hotspots. About 40 minutes at 350.

Years ago, in an effort to reduce pack weight and meal preparation time, I switched away from the more elaborate desserts. Now I just give everyone a couple of mints to cleanse the pallet after meal time. The guys in my group actually prefer it since we are generally stuffed after the main course :-)
