Easy Dutch oven pies

[Rickey Brown]

This is a very easy recipe for cooking crumble top pies in a Dutch oven
2 cans pie filling of your choice
2 Pkgs. soft oatmeal cookies, crumbled
1 stick butter
Melt butter over slow heat
add pie filling to DO
cover with crumbled cookies
pour on melted butter
Bake for 15-20 minutes until cookies are brown and filling is bubbling

A handful of small stones & a pie-plate, placed between the bottom of the DO & the food, works WELL to keep baked goods from browning too much on the bottom.
(That's how I keep my fruit/cream pies from burning.)

O great now I am hungry. This sounds tastey.

Come down to Bexar & I'll make you a series of pies.
(Cooking out of doors is one of my favorite things.)

Blueberry, one of 4 pies I baked for a picnic.
Two apples a cherry and a bluberry did it while camping in my tin teepe.

I'm impressed. I've cooked enough to recognize a good job when I see it, and that's a good job.

Those fruit pies are just downright PURTY.

That's high praise coming from both of you.
Thank you.
Here are some homemade carmel rolls, an attempt at my mother's recipe.

VERY NICE.

Should you wish to "feed a crowd" (Like A Company, 10th LA Inf, PACSA) "on the cheap" & get "rave reviews", I'll share my G-G-G-Aunt Lalia's famous chicken pie recipe with you.
(That recipe likely started out as a DO recipe.)

Note: One thing that "endlessly fascinates" me is that people are "overwhelmed" & astounded that I can easily cook "plain, ordinary pizza" in a DO.
(I found a plain 18-inch pan that fits my bigger DO. It has one inch sides & works GREAT.)

PIZZA!!! I love pizza. I couldn't find a picture of one done in my D.O but here is one done on the lid over a grill.

 

[satx78247]

The BEST thing about cooking pizza outdoors is that you can get the temperature MUCH hotter than a typical home gas/electric stove's oven.

just my opinion, satx

 

[coloradoclyde]

The hotter the better. Iv'e been wanting to build a brick oven for years :thumbsup:

 

[satx78247]

UNDERSTOOD. = Once we get settled in Latin America, I plan to build a traditional QUINCHO out of COB, FIRE BRICK & a little cement.
(Having eaten/cooked baked goods & roasted meat from a quincho, when I was stationed with the OAS team, I can assure you that they are GREAT for baking/roasting/etc.)

And I was so proud of my beans and weinies over an open fire! ....NOT ANY MORE!! lol That's some good lookin' stuff there.

 

[coloradoclyde]

Learn to cook and you'll never be unhappy....or hungry. :wink:

 

[satx78247]

Hangfire,

BE CAREFUL of learning to cook (OR at least letting anyone know that you can), as you may find yourself cooking MUCH more than hunting at deer camp.
(At least that's been my experience.)

Lord have mercy, y'all. That all looks sooooo good. Yum-O!!!! The rub is that I am on a diet trying to loose a few pounds. A few pounds....Hah! The doctor tells me that I need to loose about as many pounds as a small Viet Namese family weighs. I gotta get out of here. :haha:
