Ingredients
  

Campfire Peachies
  • 16 slice white bread Sliced loaf-style pieces for forming 8 sandwiches.
  • 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling Use canned pie filling for thick, spoonable oozing.
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar For sprinkling between bread layers.
  • 1 butter Butter for browning the bread on the pie iron.
  • 1 powdered sugar Optional dusting for serving.

Equipment

  • 1 pie iron

Method
 

Assemble the pie iron sandwiches
  1. Butter one side of each white bread slice so they’ll toast evenly in the pie iron.
  2. Place one slice of butter-side down in the pie iron.
  3. Spoon peach pie filling onto the bread, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  4. Top with the second slice of white bread, butter-side up, then close the pie iron to hold the filling.
Cook over campfire coals
  1. Cook the sandwich over campfire coals for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, flipping once for even browning.
Finish and serve
  1. Carefully remove the sandwich from the pie iron and let it cool for 2 minutes so the filling sets slightly.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm while the peach filling is still soft.

Notes

Pro tip: pack the filling lightly in the center so it oozes without overflowing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days; reheat in a dry pan or pie iron briefly to re-crisp. Freezing isn’t recommended because the bread texture softens. Dietary swap: use lactose-free butter if needed.
