Recommend some Pie Iron recipes for the grand kids?

We're new to Pie Irons and would like to try some ideas with the grand kids. I know you can make a grilled cheese sandwich, but what else do the little kids like?
  • We make a dessert type pie. Raisin bread buttered on the outside, filled with strawberry jam, sliced bananas, and sliced marshmallows to help hold it together. You could also put Nutella in it instead of jam.
  • We use the canned croissants (or just plain bread) with pre-cooked Manwich meat. Add cheese or whatever and put in the fire and cook until the croissants are done and the meat is hot in the middle.

    We have used them at breakfast and put white bread with an egg and some sausage pieces (pre-cooked) in the middle, covered with another piece of bread. You have to keep it level until it starts to cook.

    With all of these, be sure to spray the irons before adding bread.
  • Yup! We used to use Wilderness pie filling, worked great. Two pieces of bread buttered on the outside.
  • Anything you like.
    White bread and any pie filling you like.
    White bread, pepperoni, Mozzarella, pizza sauce
    Hot PBJ sandwiches, (warning,,, gooey)
    Hopefully you have a set up and functional outside shower.
  • Let the kids say what they like in sandwiches. Also try a aluminum foil dinner. Let the kids pack their own foil wrap.
