What is a Mountain Pie? If you are an avid camper, you already know and can enjoy the recipes below without reading the rest of this. If you don't know what it is, you don't know what you're missing. First you need a mountain pie iron. There are links below to take you there. You make a Mountain Pie preferably over a campfire, but it can also be done in a fireplace or any open flame. Butter outsides of 2 pieces of bread, lay them in the pie iron, and place food inside the bread. Close the cooker, putting the 'sandwich' together inside the cooker, and place over the flame for a few minutes. A few minutes over the heat and a perfectly toasted sandwich or pie emerges from the cooker.
You can literally use anything in the pies, from dessert to a meal. Here are some recipes for you to enjoy. You can vary them or make up your own.
