Pudgy pies are a nostalgic household favourite, and for good purpose! These heat, gooey treats are excellent for a cold night across the hearth or a household tenting journey.

Pudgy Pies (additionally spelled as Pudgie Pie) are the last word hearth dessert! I realized how one can make them in Lady Scouts and shortly grew to become the Pudgy Pie maker in our household once we went tenting. They’re so easy, anybody could make them!

For campfire pudgy pies, I prefer to preserve it easy by utilizing canned pie filling. Everybody within the household loves selecting their favourite—apple, peach, strawberry, or cherry—and layer it between two slices of buttered bread within the pie iron. The stuffed pudgy pie is then held over an open flame till golden brown and scrumptious on the skin and melty on the within.

Similar to my Strolling S’Mores or Butterscotch Pie in a Bag these campfire pies are a enjoyable and easy dessert twist for events or household gatherings.

As a lot as I really like making selfmade pies, campfire pudgy pies provide the similar style and texture however with hardly any of the trouble. Canned pie filling is just not the one shortcut that make these tremendous easy. As an alternative of creating a selfmade pie crust, slices of buttered bread create a tasty crust whereas additionally making it a conveyable dessert.

Ideas from my Check Kitchen

Get inventive together with your fillings: the number of pie fillings you an use are countless. And also you don’t have to decide on only one. Add half blueberry and half lemon for a zesty deal with.

Get decadent: Don’t wish to go fruity, attempt including chocolate chips, peanut butter, marshmallows, or caramel sauce inside your bread.

High it off: These pies are piping sizzling and excellent for À la mode, or attempt them with a dollop of my selfmade whipped cream.

Assume outdoors the field: pie iron recipes don’t all must be candy. Attempt one thing savory like a grilled cheese, pizza, or stuffed hashbrowns.

Spherical vs. Sq. pie irons: I desire the spherical pie irons over sq.. They’re barely smaller and permit for an excellent prepare dinner.
