Tips:

For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening, such as Crisco. Make sure the butter is cold before incorporating it into the dough.
Work quickly when making the dough to prevent the butter from melting and becoming greasy.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
If you are using a store-bought pie crust, thaw it according to the package directions before filling it.
Use fresh fruit for the filling. If you are using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
Add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch to the fruit filling to help thicken it.
Brush the edges of the pie crust with an egg wash before baking to help it seal and brown.
Bake the pies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pies cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Campfire fruit pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
