Square Pies!!!

Last weekend we camped in Davenport....Yes, another "DOG THING". G

Tracy would not be camping with us this weekend as it was close enough for her to drive back and forth. She did NOT totally trust us with her antique pie maker, so she provided us with the "next best thing", our OWN!!!!! YIPPEE!!!

Now, it's now quite like Tracy's. First off, it's square! Square as in it's shape....not square as in "un-cool".

No, this is Very COOL!!!

Unfortunately, Tracy got side tracked and didn't make it to a store in order to get us the supplies we'd need in order to make pies.

Never fear! Carrie found one and collected the prime quality ingredients we would need for our dessert.

One loaf of white bread.


One Can of Apple Filling.

Is that John Wayne on the front of the can??

Never mind, it looks more like Forrest Gump.....


Butter, Cinnamon and extra sugar, which she picked up at the deli area.

GOOD THINKING Carrie!!!


So to cooking we go!!!

I carefully assembled the first pie...and popped it into the coals.



We timed carefully as we were NOT going to have the same disaster as the first pie had last weekend!! We decided 3 minutes per side would be about right.

Well, Maybe 2 would be better next time???



Actually this looked much worse that it was. Our camp fire rim was much deeper here, thus our pie baker was tipped into the fire. This resulted in the top end being rather "well done".

Of course Seeker was willing to "take one for the team"!!!

SORRY SEEK!!!


Here is our first pie.

Not too bad if you picked around the burned parts.

I could see how this would make pretty good grilled cheese!!

This was the last camping weekend of the year.

I suppose I'll have to play with this at home in our fire pit.

Maybe put together a pizza?
