Mountain Pies
Ingredients
- 2 slices GF DF bread
- 2 tsp DF butter
- ¼ c GF pie filling of your choice (cherry, apple, peach)
Instructions
- Butter a slice of bread and place butter side down into a mountain pie maker.
- Add the pie filling to the center of the bread.
- Then butter another slice of bread and place it butter side up over the pie filling.
- Assemble the mountain pie maker and place over the campfire. Toast both sides 4-5 minutes depending on campfire placement. Watch over carefully as pies can burn quickly.
- Once mountain pie is toasted carefully remove from the maker by flipping onto a plate. Allow pie to cool for 5 minutes as it will be very hot.
- Repeat this process for more pies. One 21 ounce pie filling can makes 8 pies.
- Optional– add a scoop of DF vanilla ice cream.
