Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 3 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices white sandwich bread
  • ¼ cup strawberry pie filling
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese spread
  • Spreadable butter (enough to coat one side of each bread slice)
  • ½ teaspoon powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Spray the inside of both sides of your campfire pie iron generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Butter one side of the first bread slice. Place it butter-side DOWN into the pie iron.
  • Spread the strawberry pie filling over the bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Add dollops of whipped cream cheese on top of the pie filling.
  • Butter one side of the second bread slice. Place it butter-side UP on top of the filling, closing the sandwich.
  • Close and latch the pie iron shut.
  • Hold the pie iron over hot coals (not direct flames) and cook for 1 to 1.5 minutes per side, flipping once - about 2 to 3 minutes total.
  • Carefully open the pie iron and check that the bread is golden-brown on both sides.
  • Remove the pudgy pie, place on a paper plate, and sprinkle with powdered sugar immediately.
  • Let cool for about 60 seconds before eating - filling will be very hot!

Notes

Notes:
  • Cook over hot coals rather than open flames for more even, controlled heat.
  • Use whipped cream cheese (from a tub), not block cream cheese - it spreads more easily.
  • Don't overfill! Stick to the listed amounts to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Variations:
  • Blueberry Pudgy Pie: Swap strawberry pie filling for blueberry pie filling.
  • Cherry Pudgy Pie: Swap strawberry pie filling for cherry pie filling.
  • Peach Pudgy Pie: Swap strawberry pie filling for peach pie filling.
  • Caramel Apple Pudgy Pie: Swap strawberry pie filling for apple pie filling and replace cream cheese with caramel sundae sauce.
  • Pizza Pudgy Pie: Replace strawberry pie filling and cream cheese with pepperoni slices, mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and dried basil. Omit the powdered sugar.
  • Indoor Version: No campfire? Use a panini press, sandwich maker, or waffle iron instead!
