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