Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cup pie filling
Supporting Ingredients:
- Butter
Instructions
- Generously coat each bread slice with 2 tablespoons of softened butter on one side.
- Position one buttered bread slice facing downward inside the pudgy pie maker, butter touching the metal surface.
- Carefully spread ½ cup of selected pie filling directly onto the bread, ensuring even distribution.
- Layer the second bread slice on top, positioning the buttered side facing upward.
- Securely clasp the pudgy pie maker’s handles, sealing the sandwich completely.
- Hold the pudgy pie maker 4-6 inches above medium-high campfire flames for 3-4 minutes on each side, rotating carefully to prevent burning.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove from heat and allow the pie to rest for 60-90 seconds.
- Gently separate the pudgy pie maker and transfer the hot sandwich onto a serving plate.
- Cut diagonally and serve immediately while the filling remains warm and the bread maintains a satisfying crunch.
Notes
- Always butter the outside of the bread to ensure a crispy, golden-brown crust that seals in the filling perfectly.
- Choose a thick, sturdy pie filling that won’t run out when cooking, like apple, cherry, or chocolate pudding.
- Keep the campfire heat moderate to prevent burning the bread before the filling gets hot and melted.
- Clean your pudgy pie maker after each use with a damp cloth to prevent stuck-on residue and make future cooking easier.
