Ingredients
  

Campfire peachies
  • 16 slices white bread
  • 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar
  • butter for bread Use enough to butter the bread slices.
  • powdered sugar for dusting For finishing just before serving.

Equipment

  • 1 pie iron

Method
 

Assemble the sandwiches
  1. Butter one side of each slice of white bread.
  2. Place one slice butter-side down in the pie iron.
  3. Spoon peach pie filling onto the bread and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  4. Top with a second slice of white bread, butter-side up, then close the pie iron.
Cook over campfire coals
  1. Cook the pie-iron sandwich over campfire coals for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, flipping once halfway through the first side’s cook time.
Cool and finish
  1. Carefully remove the sandwich from the pie iron.
  2. Let the sandwich cool for 2 minutes so the filling sets slightly.
  3. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Pro tip: don’t overfill the pie iron—just enough peach pie filling to ooze without leaking excessively. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in a skillet or on a grill. Freezing isn’t recommended because the bread can turn soggy after thawing. For a lighter option, use reduced-sugar peach pie filling and a reduced-sugar cinnamon sugar mix if available.
