Title: Bacon Apple Pie
Categories: Pies, Desserts, Fruits, Pork
Yield: 6 Servings

Pastry for a 9" pie; store
- bought OK
3/4 c Packed brown sugar
2 tb Cornstarch
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Fresh grated nutmeg
1/2 ts Ground cardamom
1/4 ts Ground cloves
6 c Sliced peeled sweet apples;
- 1/2" thick
8 sl (to 12 sl) uncooked thick
- cut applewood-smoked bacon

Preheat oven to 350ºF/175ºC.

Place the pie shell on a sturdy baking sheet and set
aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, cornstarch,
cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves together until
blended. Add the apples and toss to coat. Dump the spiced
apple slices into the pie shell, including any sugar and
juices that have accumulated in the bowl.

Weave the uncooked bacon on top of the pie filling,
starting from the center and working your way out to the
edges. For a lattice topping you should have an over-under
pattern with 5 pieces going vertically and five pieces
going horizontally. Trim the edges and pinch into the
crust to seal.

Cover pie with foil and bake in the middle of the oven for
1 hour. Remove cover. Continue baking for 15 minutes or until
golden brown and bacon is crisp.

Let pie cool for 1 hour before cutting.

Makes a 9" pie (6 servings the way I cut it)
