Ingredients
  

White bread
  • 16 slices white bread
Peach filling
  • 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling
Cinnamon sugar
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar
Butter for bread
  • 1 butter for buttering the bread slices
Powdered sugar dusting
  • 1 powdered sugar for dusting after cooking

Equipment

  • 1 pie iron

Method
 

Assemble the pie iron sandwiches
  1. Butter one side of each slice of white bread so the toasted side browns evenly.
  2. Place one bread slice, butter-side down, into a preheated pie iron.
  3. Spoon peach pie filling onto the bread, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the filling.
  4. Top with a second bread slice, butter-side up.
  5. Close the pie iron and cook over campfire coals for 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and crisp, with peach filling visibly oozing at the seams.
Finish and serve
  1. Carefully remove the sandwich from the pie iron and let it cool for 2 minutes so the filling sets slightly.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and serve while warm.

Notes

Pro tip: use enough filling to create a visible ooze, but don’t overfill or the sandwich may leak too much and turn soggy. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or pie iron until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the bread texture softens. For a simple swap, use a reduced-sugar peach pie filling to lower overall sweetness.
