    Pie Iron Recipes for Camping

    These are my favourite Pie Iron Recipes, perfect for camping. So easy to make and a little bit fancy to change up your camp fire family memories.

    I love camping. Well, actually maybe I love the idea of camping a little more than actually camping in a tent. Don't get me wrong, I had wonderful memories of camping as a child, sitting around a campfire, late at night, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Sitting around a campfire is such a great social experience, catching up with friends and eating. I think camping has vastly improved from the experiences of my childhood. There are so many readily available modern conveniences, which has vastly improved what people can eat when they go camping. I think it's called 'glamping' and it suits me fine.

    Camping Meal Ideas

    Some classic camping ideas just don't change, such as using a pie iron. It's fun to create and cook your own food, with so many options with what to put inside. For savory pie irons ideas, I like pizza, using pizza sauce, mozzarella and meat. Classic pie iron recipes usually involved buying canned pie filling, buttering the bread on the outside, and making an easy version of an apple pie, or blueberry or cherry pie. There's nothing wrong with the classic pie iron recipes (which I love) but it's great to explore new recipes. Most of these recipes don't require a lot of refrigeration, and are easy ingredients to take with you on your camping trip.

    Chocolate Caramel Pie Iron Recipe

    These are 2 of my new favourite pie iron recipes. To make the chocolate caramel, it's really quite self-explanatory isn't it! Find a caramel spread or use Dulce de Leche and add chocolate pieces. I like to use the Lindt chocolate balls as they are creamy, soft and just taste delicious. We tried to use Hershey Kisses cut in half, but they didn't melt as good as the Lindt. You don't need butter, but you need to use cooking spray so the bread doesn't stick to the pie iron.

    Lemon Meringue Pie Iron Recipe

    Lemon Meringue Pie is one of my favorite pies, so it was a no brainer to try to make a Lemon Meringue Pie Iron recipe. Lemon curd is used as the base for this pie, and we often make it at home. Otherwise just buy lemon curd or use a lemon pie filling as your spread on the bread, then add a few marshmallows and toast. The melted marshmallows are similar to the meringue from a Lemon Meringue Pie, it's just perfect by the campfire. Again, don't forget to spray the pie irons with non-stick cooking spray!

    Eating fancy Pie Iron recipes while camping, I think, is a little bit fancy! We love using the fire pit in our yard where we can cook and entertain year round. Pie irons have become a bit of a novelty that's lots of fun to make with the kids, whether we are camping or just pretend camping. Bon Appetit! Приятного аппетита!

    Ingredients

    Lemon Meringue Pie Iron Ingredients

    • white bread sliced
    • lemon curd
    • white marshmallows
    • non-stick cooking spray

    Chocolate Caramel Pie Iron Ingredients

    • caramel spread
    • Lindt milk chocolate balls
    • non-stick cooking spray

    Instructions

    • Spray a generous amount of non-stick cooking spray on inside of both sides of the pie iron.
    • Choose your filling of choice (lemon or caramel) and spread on both pieces of bread and place on the pie iron.
    • Add the 2nd filling to the pie iron. For lemon meringue, I used 4 small marshmallows, and for the caramel, I cut 2 Lindt chocolate balls in half.
    • Close the pie iron, cut off the bread edges. I cut off the bread edges during the toasting, as I find it's easier to cut off crispy bread, your choice.
    • Cook over your campfire, turning often to get it nice and golden brown inside. The iron needs to heat up and this will take at least 5 minutes, but depends on how hot your fire is and how close you are holding it (hold it pretty close).
    • When the pie is golden brown, carefully remove from pie iron and allow to cool, as the insides are incredibly hot. Seriously, allow to cool so you don't burn your mouth.
    • Enjoy and repeat! The combinations are endless!

      I use flour tortillas, they are big enough to fold over the fillings, less bread more filling, yummy!
