Anyone got one of these?
I want one…maybe I’ll need 11 of them, but still I want them.
This is a fun little recipe that can be made over any campfire, whether while camping or, like me, in your backyard with a little fire-pit. I’ve heard of the same basic recipe, using bread and pie filling to make little pies.

| How to Prepare: | |||||||
| Use a cast iron “pocket pie” maker (you can buy them at camping stores – it’s essentially a pie maker on a stick). Grease the inside with butter or olive oil. Put a slice of bread on each side of the pie maker (some will hang over the edge). Put some pepperoni, cheese and sauce in the center of one slice. Carefully close the pie maker and cut off the edges of the bread outside of the pie maker. Put the pie maker in the hot coals of the campfire. Check every minute to see if it’s done – the pie will be sealed and the outside will be toasted. Stick a knife in to see if it’s hot all the way through. Carefully remove the pocket pie from the pie maker and enjoy! This is a favorite! Recipe from www.campingrecipes.com

I have two pie irons, Kelly.
Our family likes to use pie filling, but now I want to try this recipe. Actually, the possibilities are endless…my mouth is watering!
I just have to get some of those, Beth! I’ll bet I’ve walked past a million of them at garage sales, but didn’t know what they were!
I am going to have to get one of those too… I just wanted to chime in that I have made “pizza” grilled cheese sandwiches on the stove just like you are talking about and they are YUMMY! Butter your two pieces of bread, put sauce on the inside, mozz. cheese and pepporoni and M-M-Goodness! My kids ate them up one day…
That DOES sound good…I need to be more creative sometimes, that sounds like fun for lunch!
I LOVE pie irons!!! We always make dessert with pie filling, but this sounds neat, too! We are going camping over labor day weekend…I will have to put this on the camping menu!
Katie, you’re the awesome cook, you should come up with a new groovy recipe for the pie iron!
We’re going camping in a few weeks and I’ve been collecting recipes! This looks great! I might need at least seven of those irons!
Yes, because it will take forever for anyone too eat if you don’t!
a few families camp out every year, and these pie irons are a HUGE hit – they make apple pies. They just take awhile since there is only one of these pie irons, although I think the one used is a double…
A bigger hit though is using a stick and taking a crescent roll and spiraling it up the stick (leave enough stick to hold safely over the fire) thinly so it toasts and then roll it in melted butter and then roll in cinnamon sugar.
OOoooohhhhhh! My mouth is watering! Anyone else ever do this?
S, did you make this up or hear about it? What a cool idea!
I don’t know why I don’t have any of these…my kids would like to use them…perhaps it is because we haven’t gone camping this year….yummy pizza over the campfire! Joni
Summer flew right by this year, didn’t it, Joni? Maybe you can get some fall camping in!
Kelly – totally did not make it up (not that creative haha) – friends of ours introduced my kids to it – its some scouting or camping recipe. It does take some time – 10 minutes or plus per roll and the trick is to spiral them around so you don’t overlap the roll – the thinner the better (but not too thin) so they will cook evenly and fairly quickly…but its not a fast boom you are done recipe, but for my kids at least totally worth it!!! sort of like fried dough at the fair but not flat??? Its messy, so use some nice long flat containers for the melted butter (those cheap alum pans work well if you are away from home and want to trash them – you can put it over the fire to melt the butter) and then we did the cinn/sugar in a big plastic container – the long ones, and we would pour our sugar mixture into the container between kids so they’d all have nice fresh sugar vs the buttery gloppy stuff.
Man, I really think I need one of those!!
I was thinking as I read your recipe that it has the making of of great family memories!
I’m seeing an “end of back to school week” bonfire in your future with this as dessert!
Yep, me too!!
I have similar pie irons that my family had when I was growing up. I’d say mine are about 40 yrs. old! Then & now, we’ve done the fruit pie desserts & we’ve had variations of the pizza recipe using different meats.
A few other things we like to make in ours–sloppy joes (make the meat mixture ahead of time at home), grilled cheese, grilled meat sandwiches (ham, turkey or deli roast beef), breakfast sausage sandwiches (brown the meat at home), different variations of egg sandwiches using cooked-ahead scrambled eggs, w/ or w/out meat, cheese.
We love to camp and try to get out 2x/month. But I don’t want to spend all my time cooking. These pie irons are great for taking the work off me!
OK, we need to do a cookbook, ladies! Kelly, what a variety of ideas and recipes! This would make camping all the more fun with cool stuff for meals!
This turned out to be quite a hot topic!
