Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 slices bread
  • 1 can pie filling your choice: apple, peach, strawberry, blueberry

Instructions

  • Open pie maker. Optional: spray with cooking spray for easy release
    2 tablespoons butter
    A slice of white bread nestles in an open round cast iron sandwich press on a white surface, ready to transform into a delicious pudgy pie.
  • Spread butter on one slice of bread and place butter side down in the pie maker.
    Add ¼-⅓ cup pie filling to the center of the bread.
    Butter a second slice of bread and place on top, butter side up. Close pie iron and lock. Using your hands or a butter knife, peel excess bread.
    8 slices bread, 1 can pie filling
    A spoonful of marmalade being spread on a slice of white bread placed in a black sandwich maker on a white surface.
  • Place over fire for approximately 2-3 minutes. Rotate and toast the other side over the fire for 2+ minutes.
    To check desired doneness, position pie iron parallel to the ground and open 1-2 inches. When it is golden brown, remove from the heat and open one side of the pie iron and gently turn over to release the pudgy pie onto a plate to cool before serving.
    A metal pie iron, perfect for crafting a delicious pudgy pie, is held over an open flame in a fire pit, surrounded by burning wood.

Notes

I prefer using a round pie iron to ensure the crusts are sealed. 
If you are using a square pie iron, Bunny Bread is larger than most sandwich bread and square in shape, for the best coverage.
