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. Ingredients:
1/2 lb bacon, cooked until crisp, drained and crumbled (pre-cooked weight) |
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup flour |
3/4 cup oats |
2/3 cup brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
4 -5 apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4 inch thick pieces |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix bacon, cheese, flour, oats and 1/3 cup of the brown sugar. Thoroughly mix in melted butter.
2. Place apple slices in a 1.5- to 2-quart casserole. Toss with lemon juice, cinnamon and remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar.
3. Spread topping on apples.
4. Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes, or until apples are tender. Allow to cool for at least 20-30 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
