Ingredients
  

Sandwich and filling
  • 16 slices white bread Use sturdy white bread for crisp browning and easy sealing in the pie iron.
  • 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling Crucial for the oozing center between bread slices.
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar Sprinkle before closing so it toasts into a warm, spiced crust.
  • 1 butter For buttering the bread sides that contact the pie iron.
  • 1 powdered sugar For dusting right before serving.

Equipment

  • 1 pie iron

Method
 

Build the pie iron sandwiches
  1. Butter one side of each bread slice and stack so the buttered sides are ready to face the pie iron.
  2. Place one bread slice butter-side down in the pie iron, using it as the bottom layer for the sandwich.
  3. Spoon peach pie filling over the bread and sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly on top so it will ooze as it heats.
  4. Top with the second bread slice butter-side up to seal the filling inside the sandwich.
Cook over campfire coals
  1. Close the pie iron and place it over campfire coals for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, turning carefully once to brown the other face.
Cool, dust, and serve
  1. Carefully remove the sandwiches from the pie iron and let them cool for 2 minutes to set the filling.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and serve hot for that oozy peach center.

Notes

Pro tip: don’t overfill—stay close to the bread edges so the pie filling oozes without leaking out. Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days; reheat in a pan over medium-low until warmed through (not fully crispy again). Freezing isn’t recommended because the bread texture can soften. Dietary swap: use a gluten-free bread for a gluten-free pie iron dessert if your pie iron model fits thicker slices.
