Notes
You can bake this without a conventional oven by using the Dutch oven method. After filling the Dutch oven, cover it and place it on a bed of coals. Place additional coals on top. Use very few coals on the bottom and more on top.
Put a glass full of water in the middle of the Dutch Oven before baking to help it bake evenly, from inside and out.
Use any pie filling you want.
Serve warm or room temperature.
