Ingredients
  

white bread
  • 16 slice white bread Butter one side of each slice.
peach pie filling
  • 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling Spoon onto the bread and let it ooze when pressed.
cinnamon sugar
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar Sprinkle over the peach filling.
butter
  • 1 butter For buttering the bread slices.
powdered sugar
  • 1 powdered sugar Dust the finished sandwiches before serving.

Equipment

  • 1 pie iron

Method
 

Prep the sandwiches
  1. Butter one side of each white bread slice so the surfaces touching the pie iron brown evenly.
  2. Place one bread slice butter-side down in the pie iron to form the bottom layer.
  3. Spoon peach pie filling onto the bread and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar so the filling is contained but generous.
  4. Top with a second bread slice butter-side up to sandwich the filling between the golden-to-toast surfaces.
  5. Close the pie iron and cook over campfire coals for 2-3 minutes per side until the bread turns golden and crispy.
Finish and serve
  1. Carefully remove the pie iron sandwich and let it cool for 2 minutes so the filling thickens slightly and holds together.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, showing peach filling oozing between the toasted bread.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep the coals steady (not roaring flames) so the bread crisps before the filling leaks out too much. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the bread texture softens as the filling thaws. For a lighter swap, use reduced-fat butter and reduce cinnamon sugar to 2 tbsp while keeping the same pie filling.
