be making a fruit pie. I love blueberry pie so I usually have a can of blueberry pie filling but you can choose whichever flavor you like best. Start by buttering both sides of two slices of bread. Open the pie iron and place one slice of bread in each half of the pie iron. Spoon some pie filling on one of the slices of bread. Don’t put too much pie filling that it oozes over the side, but make sure you fill it fairly good. Finally, take the other slice of bread and place it on top of the “pie.” Now, close the pie iron tightly and clamp the handles together. Place the filled pie iron over the coals (not directly in the fire) or on a grate over a less-hot area of your campfire turning every 3-5 minutes. After about 5-7 minutes, open the pie iron and check each side of the fruit pie. You want the bread to be toasted a golden brown with the fruit filling hot and steamy. Remove the pie and enjoy!

These are the basics for pie iron cooking. You are limited only by your imagination. Instead of pie filling, try chocolate and peanut butter, or chocolate and marshmallow. For breakfast, add some egg to make a complete breakfast. You certainly can’t go wrong cooking in a pie iron!
