Why not put maple bacon in an apple pie !!! In addition, the fact of mixing several types of apples brings a very interesting touch in terms of flavours. Let me know what you think about it !

Preparation

In a large high-sided skillet heated over medium heat, melt the butter. Add apples and toss to coat.
Add the apples, maple syrup, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice and zest. Mix and cook for 10 minutes, stirring gently. Pour onto a baking sheet, spread and let cool for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the bacon. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the bacon is semi-crisp. Remove from the baking sheet, drain and place on several sheets of paper towels. Sponge off the fat, roughly chop and add on the apple mixture.
Grease a pie baking dish and place a pastry dough in the bottom. Pour in the apple mixture and spread. Put the other pastry dough on top, cut off the excess and seal the sides securely. Make a hole of about 1” in the centre. Place in the fridge and let cool for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Brush the top of the pie with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sugar to taste. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the crust is lightly golden. Rotate 180 degrees halfway through cooking.
Cover the pie with foil and make a hole in the centre of about 1 ”. Lower the oven to 350°F and continue cooking for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack and let cool for 2 to 3 hours. Serve with vanilla ice cream!

Our sommeliers suggest

Château Bastor-Lamontagne 2018

Bordeaux, France.

Made by Vignobles de Bastor et Saint-Robert, this magnificent Sauternes is known for great finesse, with notes of brioche, dried fruit, baker's yeast, cooked apple and pear. A great Sauternes at a small price, spot on with this kind of dessert. See the product

Bière d'été, 5.8%

La Confrérie

An apple pie with maple bacon in it is salty fat under the sugar. The beer brewed with apple juice, lemon and lime finds the fruit again and adds the acidity that's missing, while the sugar in the pie softens its tartness. A dessert that doesn't go unnoticed. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
