MOUNTAIN PIES

My husband's grammy introduced me to mountain pies.  She told me they would put pie filling between two pieces of bread and cook on this cast iron sandwich maker made for cooking over a fire.  This is a great treat for savory or sweet while camping or over your backyard fire pit.  You can always try these sandwiches inside and follow the process for making a grilled cheese sandwich.

Butter the outside of each slice of bread.  Add 2 tablespoons of filling (no more or it'll ooze out!).  Place sandwich in sandwich maker and cook for about two minutes on each side.

Filling options:

• canned pie filling (we did pie filling with cream cheese) sweeten 8oz of cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and spread on inside of both slices of bread.
• Nutella with a marshmallow
• pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni
• ham, Swiss cheese, mustard and a pickle (Cuban)
• marshmallow fluff, peanut butter and banana
