Cast Iron Sandwich Maker

It's known by some as a Cast Iron Sandwich Oven, but you can make more than sandwiches with it. Although the main ingredients is usually bread, the filling is what makes each one unique.

Hot Pockets

Ingredients, per sandwich:
two slices of bread
margarine or butter
two tablespoons of pie filling

Cooking utensils:
cast iron sandwich maker
dish soap
butter knife
spoon
napkins

Eating Utensils:
fingers
napkins

Preparation:

1. Pour a small amount of dish soap on a napkin and rub it over the outer surfaces of the closed sandwich maker. This will make clean up easier. Be careful not to get any inside.
2. Spread margarine or butter on two slices of bread.
3. Fully open the sandwich maker on a flat surface and place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on one half.
4. Place a spoonful of pie filling on the centre of the slice of bread.
5. Place the other slice of bread, buttered side up on top of the ofirst slice and the filling.
6. Close the sandwich maker by moving the empty side over the filled side. Latch it closed.
7. If there is any bread sticking out from the edges of the sandwich maker, use the knife to trim it off.
8. Place the sandwich maker in the coals of a hot campfire for about 30 to 40 seconds.
9. Turn the sandwich maker over and leave it for another 30-40 seconds.
10. Remove it from the fire, place it on a fire safe surface and open it to see if it's done. Then bread should be just lightly browned.
11. Carefully remove the sandwich and serve it on a plate.

You may have to adjust cooking times depending on the state of the campfire. These can be made with any pie filling. My son's favourite is apple pie filling, but we've using bluebaerry pie fillie, even jam. You can make a pizza pocket by substituting pizza sauce, pepperoni and other pizza toppings.

Caution: The filling may be very hot.
