This Round Pie Iron Fruit Pie is So Easy and So Good. This could easily replace Store Bought Fruit Pies. Enjoy making them in your Pie Iron while sitting around the campfire.
1 box Refrigerated Pastry Crust (contains 2 crust) – cut out a little bigger than needed
1 small can of Pie Filling – Apple, Blackberry, Cherry
Butter Flavored Spray Oil
Water
Powdered Sugar (optional)
Milk (optional)
Lightly spray the insides of the pie iron halves. Lay the pie crust over the (round) pie iron halves. Tuck pie crust down into the iron halves leaving a bit hang over the edges. Spoon the pie filling into one half only. Do not over fill. Moisten the edges of the pie crust where it will join together when closed, this will help the pie crust stick for a better seal. Close the cooker and latch the handle. Trim the excess pie crust back around the iron. Set over the fire and cook till golden brown. Usually about 8 to 10 minutes, turning once.
Options: Put a small amount of powdered sugar in cup, add enough milk to make a thick syrup. Drizzle the syrup over pie in a zig zag pattern or lightly dust with powdered sugar.
DO NOT OPEN IMMEDIATELY after removing it from the fire. The pie is sealed and hot, it will release steam and / or pie filling causing a burn. Let the pie iron rest for a few minutes. You will be rewarded.

We enjoy these while camping. They make a great mid-afternoon snack for the kids. Using your own ingredients can make the pocket pies a healthier alternative to store bought hot pockets.
1 Pie Crust – refrigerated or homemade
Beef Stew – canned or leftovers
Butter Flavored Spray Oil
Spray both halves of the pie iron with oil. Cut 2 pieces of pie crust to slightly larger than the iron. Place 1 piece into one iron. Spoon beef stew into pie shell. DO NOT over fill, the edges need to be clean. Top beef stew with last pie crust. Close and latch form a nice neat pocket pastry. Trim the excess pastry and cook until golden brown.
Don’t get burned. Let the pie stand for a few minutes. It is full of steam and hot bubbly goodness.
A beef stew pocket pie is very similar to the “Cornish Pasty” or “Meat Pie”, an original favorite by miners from Cornwall long ago and now enjoyed globally.
