I love Pie Irons for cooking while camping. We also call them camp cookers. It is essentially a cast iron sandwich maker that you can heat over the open fire. We use it year round and it works like a charm over the propane fire as well (whenever there is a fire ban in place).

You can purchase a Pie Iron from Amazonor find them at Canadian Tire or other outdoor specialty stores.

Our camp cooking essentials:

• Menu planning for camping is something that I always do to stay organized. Grab this free Meal Planner Printable to get started on your next trip.
• A Pie Iron Camp Cooker makes cooking over the open fire super easy. Check out these 20+ Pie Iron Recipe Ideas for tons of camp cooker inspiration!
• Foil Pie Plates make tinfoil packet meals even easier with the sturdy base that they provide.
• These Grilling Bags that I recently found are amazing! Simply add all of your ingredients to the bag at home then throw it on the campfire or grill when camping in the great outdoors.

Tips for camping meal preparation:

• Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
• Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
• Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers.These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
• Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
• Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of my favorites.

While camping easy preparation and clean up is a priority for me.

Camp Cooker Apple Pie Turnover:

• 1 can Pillsbury country biscuits
• A jar of apple pie filling (I used this homemade apple pie filling)
• 1 bag marshmallows
• Non-stick spray (optional)

Directions:

• Spray the interior of the pie iron with non stick spray.
• Layer 1 biscuit, 1/4 cup apple pie filling, 1 marshmallow and 1 biscuit.
• Close and latch the pie iron.
• Cook over the fire, opening the iron to check progress periodically.
• Cook for approximately 5 mins per side depending on how hot the fire is.

We love making these pie iron apple turnovers for breakfast or as a snack or for dessert while camping. Honestly, they are tasty anytime!

Tips for cooking with a camp cooker:

• When cooking with a camp cooker, begin by applying non stick cooking spray or oil to the inside of both cooking plates. This step is important so that your delicious meal doesn’t stick to the plates and burn.
• Place your recipe ingredients into the cooker before closing and latching it.
• Cook the recipe over an open fire. We recommend placing the cooker over the fire for two minutes before unlatching, checking for doneness and flipping the cooker over to cook the other side.
• Use caution when handling both the metal latch and handles as they can become hot while cooking.

Basic camping food tips:

Follow these tips to make sure that you have the right variety of foods packed for your next trip.

1.Use fresh food first.

Fresh foods like meats, fruit and vegetables should be eaten at the beginning of your trip. Don’t make the mistake of reserving these items as they are more likely to spoil, wasting money and leaving you with less food to consume. These foods have been know to go off during our camping trips so it’s best to eat them first.

2. Use frozen foods next.

Frozen foods are great for packing while camping. They can be used as additional ice packs in coolers and consumed at a later date as they defrost. Meals should stay in the cooler or refrigerator until ready to be eaten. Be especially mindful of frozen meats that can spoil easily. It’s best to eat fresh and frozen foods before moving on to non-perishable items.

3. Finally, use non-perishable items.

Once the fresh and frozen foods that you have packed are eaten, start to use up your non-perishable items. Non-perishables can include things like: crackers, popcorn, rice, pasta and canned goods.

4. Keep snacks on hand.

Packing a wide variety of snacks is always a good idea. Depending on the activities that you are doing while camping, you may need the extra calorie consumption. Or if your other foods spoil, you have something else to rely on. We like to pack: sunflower seeds, nuts, protein bars and beef jerky.
