Mountain Pies made with Crescents

[Michael Richards]

So my son's favorite cooking device is the mountain pie maker. One like this.

And a few years back when we were planning to make fruit pies my wife had the idea of trying to use store bought butter crescents instead of bread. They are amazing!!!

Ingredients:
Store bought full size butter crescents
Store bought fruit pie filling
Stick of softened butter

Directions:
Preheat the mountain pie maker in the hot coals or fire pit. (We used the left over coals from a kettle pizza cook tonight and made ten mountain pies no problem.)
Cut a pocket into the crescent for the filling.
Fill crescents with fruit filling
Butter both sides of the the crescent.
Place into preheated mountain pie make and place on top of the coals/fire or a few inches above.
Cook, flip, check, repeat, eat.

They are one of the best deserts I have ever made or eaten!!

I have a vintage Toas-tite pie iron, and my favorite food group is dessert, so this recipe is on my to do list, thanks for posting.

I wonder if Nutella will work for the filling, or simply ooze out.
Maybe with a few mini marshmallows.

I got all the goodies now just wanting for after dinner?!!!

So here we go.
Start with the ingredients in the last post.
Take the store bought croissant (or if your name is Rich G make your own ) and give a good cut in the middle.
Fill that middle with some pie filling. Or whatever goodness you guys think up. This one was apple.
Butter it.
Stick it in the mountain pie press and stick it over the fire. We used the bottom of the WSM 14 from our Rib cook and the iron worked really well in there. My photos outside didn't come out over the fire, but here is it done. You want them to be browned!!!
My photographer disappeared into mountain pie after that photo and I didn't get anymore. These were as good as I remembered. Thanks for push me to make them again, I haven't made them since my original post. You guys here can do so much, that the more homemade you want to make these would only make them better, but ever with the store bought ingredients they are truly fantastic!
