Ingredients
- 8 pieces Bread slices
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Canned pie filling (e.g., cherry, apple, or blueberry)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start a campfire and let it burn down to hot coals, or prepare a portable camping stove if using one.
Step 2
Butter one side of each bread slice using about 1/2 tablespoon of butter per slice, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Step 3
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, into the pie iron (a cast iron sandwich maker).
Step 4
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of canned pie filling onto the center of the bread slice inside the pie iron.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the pie filling for added flavor.
Step 6
Place another slice of bread on top of the filling, buttered side up.
Step 7
Close the pie iron securely and trim any excess bread from the edges if necessary.
Step 8
Hold the pie iron over the campfire or place it on the camping stove. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Check occasionally to avoid overcooking.
Step 9
Carefully remove the pie from the pie iron and let it cool slightly before serving.
