We have been camping at the Jester Park Camp ground during the September DMOTC Agility Trials since the trial moved to the Jester Park Equestrian Center. No one of us can remember the year of that first trial, but we're sure it's been awhile. G
It saves on hotel fees, gives us a chance to enjoy the late summer, early fall weather and it's just plain FUN!!!
This year we had - 10 people and 20 dogs spending the weekend.
One would think that with 20 dogs present, our camp site would consist of nothing but barking dogs, and chaos.... ours was one of the quieter sites...
..that is... until it was time to make DESSERT!!!!
Our dogs are well behaved....the humans....um, some times NO SO MUCH!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Tracy brought along her antique pie maker, it makes WONDERFUL homemade apple or cherry pies, just like the pilgrims use to make.
Okay, so maybe it's NOT that old.
She is a skilled camp fire dessert maker and has a merit badge to prove it!!
(Sorry, I made that part up too!)
The process is very simple!
You'll need an antique pie maker (found at your local antique dealer, if you're LUCKY!!!), a camp fire with hot embers, bread, butter and home made apple or cherry filling...oh.... and a can opener to open the pie filling! Tracy has gotten so good she now actually CANS now, vs. using those silly mason jars. G

Step Four:
Trim off excess crust from bread. It's hard to see what Tracy is doing below, but you'll have to just "trust me" on this one.
I wanted to show you how her 'homemade bread' comes wrapped!! She is amazing.
Also please note the sanitary conditions in which she is working!
No germs HERE!!! LOL

Step Five:
Carefully place "pie maker" into the fire and be sure to check the time.
Much debate ensued on the necessary cooking time needed.
It's amazing how many 'cooks' wanted to voice an option!!
Is this just the prettiest picture?

Step Six:
WA-LA!!!
As Tracy proudly displays the ease as which a wonderfully tasty
dessert can be made, even at camp.
UH - OH!!!
There seems to be a bit too much smoke!!
Never Fear! Tracy says calmly.
It might be just a bit overcooked.......
YA THINK!!!!!
Who wants the first one!!!!!
Not even Bill raised his hand for this one!!!!!
Does that look like the "S" word might be escaping Tracy's lips??
OH WAIT!!!!
A hand....or should I say a paw offers to give it a try!!
Oh Petra, what a good sport you are!!
Alas, into the garbage it goes.
Tracy now stats CONFIDENTLY that the
'pie maker' is warmed up and ready for use!!
She repeats steps one - five, with MUCH better results!!!
A PIE IS BORN!!!!
DELICIOUS!!!
