A complimentary natural, apples and bacon and swiss cheese. Shortcuts are to use a frozen pie crust rather than make your own from the recipe. Nice for a winter afternoon or friendly gathering. Ingredients:
**note for the first 4 ingredients, they can be skipped if using a premade pie dough. |
2 1/4 cup sifted flour |
1 1/2 tsp salt |
3/4 cup shortening |
5 tbl cold milk |
***in lieu of the homemade pie crust use 2 premade pie crusts |
5 eggs |
1 tbl butter or margarine |
1 cup diced canadian bacon or any good smoked bacon diced |
2 cups thinly sliced apples (red delicious are good) (unpeeled) don't use granny smith or any tart apple, the flavor is not right with the saltiness of the swiss or the smokiness of the bacon or nutmeg |
1 tbl flour |
1 3/4 cup half and half |
⅛ tsp nutmeg |
1/4 tsp caraway seeds |
1/2 tsp dry mustard |
1 cup shredded swiss cheese |
