Ingredients

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Build campfire, and let burn until most of the large flames have subsided.
  • Step 
    2
    Meanwhile, separate dough into 4 rectangles; reshape each rectangle to form 6x4-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
  • Step 
    3
    Spoon 1/4 cup of the pie filling onto center of each rectangle to within 1/2 inch of edges. Fold dough in half (starting with one of the short ends) over filling; firmly press around edges with fork to completely seal. Spray inside of pie iron with cooking spray. Place one filled crescent into pie iron; close iron, and latch shut. (If you only have one pie iron/camp cooker, place remaining assembled pies/pockets in refrigerator or cooler while cooking in batches.)
  • Step

    Cook over medium heat (near hot embers) 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until dough is golden brown and cooked through. Cool 5 minutes before serving. Repeat for remaining crescent pies, carefully watching cook time as pie iron heats up.
