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 Cored, peeled, sliced sweet
- apples; 1/2" thick
8 sl (to 12 sl) uncooked thick
- cut applewood-smoked bacon

Set oven @ 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)
