Description
Cherry Mountain Pie is a quick and delightful snack made by toasting bread slices filled with sweet cherry pie filling in a mountain pie iron over a fire. The result is a warm, crispy, and gooey treat that pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert or a cozy snack.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread
- 1 – 2 teaspoons margarine
- 1/4 cup cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread margarine evenly on one side of each slice of white bread to ensure a golden, crispy texture when toasted.
- Position the bread: Place the first slice of bread, buttered side down, into the mountain pie iron.
- Add filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling into the center of the bread slice, leaving a border around the edges to prevent leakage.
- Top the pie: Place the second slice of bread on top of the cherry filling, buttered side up, sealing the pie.
- Toast the pie: Close the mountain pie iron and place it directly into the fire. Toast one side until golden brown, then carefully flip the iron to toast the other side, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the iron, place it on a plate, and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Be careful when handling the mountain pie iron as it gets very hot over the fire.
- Leaving space around the edges of the bread prevents the filling from spilling out during toasting.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an enhanced dessert experience.
- Use margarine or butter based on preference; both work well for crisping the bread.
- Ensure the fire has a steady, moderate heat to toast the pie evenly without burning.
