Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices White Bread
  • 1/4 cup Strawberry Pie Filling
  • 2 tbsp Whipped Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Powdered Sugar
  • Spreadable Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pie Iron: Spray the inside of both sides of a campfire pie iron with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the Pudgy Pie.
  2. Butter First Slice: Butter one side of a slice of white bread and place it buttered side down onto the pie iron, forming the base for your pie.
  3. Add Filling and Cream Cheese: Spread the 1/4 cup strawberry pie filling evenly over the bread slice inside the pie iron, then add dollops of whipped cream cheese on top for creamy richness.
  4. Top with Second Slice: Butter one side of the second slice of bread and place it buttered side up on top of the strawberry and cream cheese layer, completing your Pudgy Pie stack.
  5. Cook Over Coals: Close the pie iron securely and place it over hot campfire coals. Cook for 1 to 1.5 minutes on each side, totaling 2 to 3 minutes, until the bread is toasted golden and the filling is warm and melty.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Carefully open the pie iron, remove the Pudgy Pie, transfer it to a plate, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy immediately for a delicious, warm campfire dessert.

Notes

  • Use spreadable butter to ensure even coverage and prevent sticking.
  • Cook times may vary slightly depending on the heat of your coals; adjust as needed to avoid burning.
  • For a different fruity twist, try substituting the strawberry pie filling with blueberry or cherry pie filling.
  • If you don’t have a campfire pie iron, a stovetop sandwich press or panini maker can be used as an alternative.
  • Allow the Pudgy Pie to cool slightly before eating to avoid burning your mouth on hot filling.
