How many of you use pie irons when camping. We always did, though we called them pudgy-pie makers. We'd take 2 bread slices, and butter the outside, fill with jam, and stick the in the cooking fire to toast the bread, and seal the edges. Now though, I've expanded the uses of that wonderful camp cooking device, the humble pie iron.
or a day trip, bring long your favorite fruits, pie fillings, jams, chocolate, marshmallows, lemon/lime curds, cheesecake flavored cream cheese, etc., and a couple tubes of Pillsbury pie crust. Or you can still use buttered bread. Simply cut the dough to fit your pie iron, with a bit of dough hanging over the edges to seal, fill with your preferred filling, close, and bake in the campfire.
In addition to wonderful desert hand pies, you can fill with diced potatoes, ground beef, onion, and rutabaga, like a pastier, or with diced ham and cheese, or pizza fillings; well, you get the idea. Pie irons are inexpensive, and so you can bring along 3 o4 4, letting everyone craft, and bake their own favorites. If you're lucky enough to live where you can pick wild blueberries, Saskatchewan berries, raspberries, choke cherries, etc., the make up your own fruit fillings. Pick some edible wild mudrooms, and combine with browned beef cubes and diced potatoes, maybe with some cheese. The possibilities are endless. Another great reason for cooking i pie irons, no dishes. Clean up is minimal.
