BACON APPLE CRISP



Bacon Apple Crisp image

Everything's better with bacon - and that includes apple crisp! The combination of smoky, salty bacon and tart, sweet apples works surprisingly well. This works out to be mainly sweet but with some lovely savory/salty undertones. I've tried this only with regular bacon, but I'm planning to experiment with hickory smoked. Prep time does not include cooking the bacon or peeling, coring and slicing the apples.

I frequently cook Sunday brunch for my husband and myself, and I am always experimenting with new recipes. Apples picked from our tree were the inspiration behind these sweet and savory pancakes, which my husband quickly declared a keeper. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

BACON APPLE PIE



Bacon Apple Pie image

...with delicious, crispy bacon lattice! Other bacon apple pie recipes call for bacon to be crumbled into the pie filling, but this one uses a bacon weave on top for an extra crispy treat. NOTE: this recipe calls for canned pie filling and frozen pie crust, but feel free to make your own. Home-made is better, but pre-made is better than nothing.

Time 55m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups apple pie filling (approx)
1 pie crust
1/8 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
10 -12 slices bacon (uncooked)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Mix apple pie filling, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a bowl and pour into pie crust (in a pie pan or tin). Smooth with a spatula.
  • Create bacon weave on top of pie: Lay two strips across the pie so that they intersect in the middle and are at right angles. Turn the pie so that the lower strip points toward you. Continue adding more bacon to the left and the right, creating an alternating over-under pattern with the single strip that runs side-to-side.
  • At this point, there should five or six strips of bacon pointing toward the front of the pie and one strip running side-to-side which weaves over and under the other five or six strips.
  • Begin laying a strip of bacon next to the on running side-to-side. Start at one end and create an over-under pattern opposite the first one by lifting up alternating strips, laying this piece down, and replacing the strips you lifted. Continue on both sides until the pie is completely covered in a bacon lattice with an alternating over-under weave.
  • Trim the ends that hang over the sides. Save these trimmings for use in recipes that call for diced bacon (you can freeze them).
  • Bake 45-60 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and completely cooked. You may want to bake this over a baking sheet in case apple or bacon grease ooze over the sides.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with caramel praline, dulce de leche, or similar ice cream. If desired, you can cooked up the bacon trimmings and garnish the ice cream with them.
