    Amish Pizza Mountain Pies

    Published: Jun 3, 2015 · Updated: Sep 5, 2022 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    These campfire pies are becoming increasingly popular among the Amish.   The Amish are generally avid outdoors people and a campfire in the summer along with some yummy campfire food is common.   Besides the typical campfire goodies of s'mores and hot dogs and hamburgers, a favorite campfire food is "mountain pies."

    Recently, when I was at Gloria Yoder's house a package was delivered from the Berlin Seed Company.  She was excited for the arrival of the garden seeds she had ordered, but also for the arrival of some mountain pie presses/irons.  The pies, which are usually savory, resemble popular fried pies, but are made over an open fire in "pie irons."   Thought I'd share the recipe as campfire season and summer grilling is upon us.  Enjoy!

      Great memories of growing up---non-Amish, but in the mountains of Pennsylvania, appreciating the value of family, friends, a great campfire and all that summer entails. Mountain pies are the best! And your imagination can run wild with them. This simple life is the best life.

      I know this is not the place to post comments about your book "Abraham's Redemption", but I can't find a place to do it otherwise so here goes. First of all I have read both your excerpts and I have already ordered a copy. It is very interesting and I am eagerly anticipating getting my copy this summer so I can finish the story! Thank you for sharing your work. I much admire anyone who can have the discipline to sit still long enough to write a complete novel! Now THAT does take talent. Now for those who will undoubtedly criticize your work, well, I say "phooey" on them. You are not twisting their arms to buy your novel and they don't have to buy it. They need to just shut up and let people decide on their own whether they like your novel and if they want to buy it. Well I have blathered on and so I'll cut this short. I just had to let you know that I did order a copy of you novel and I am eagerly awaiting it! Thank you Kevin for all your hard work and talent and for sharing with us!
