Fried Apples with BACON and Pecans

Benjamin Franklin was wrong. It is not beer but BACON that is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. I am always in a good mood when eating fried salty pig parts. Who said you cant put bacon in your desert? Someone who doesn't enjoy savory-sweet combos, that's who! Get on this porky train and make this the next time you have company over. I should warn you, bacon is the gateway drug for vegetarians, serve with caution.



Ingredients
  • 2 strips sugar-free, nitrate-free bacon
  • 1/4 cup roasted unsalted pecan halves, chopped (eyeball this, you can really use as much/little as you want)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 large crisp apples cored and sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • dash of ground clove
  • dash of nutmeg
  • zest from 1/4 lemon (about 1/4 teaspoon)
  • pinch of salt
  • Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4 inch pieces, and place them in a large cold skillet. Turn the heat tio medium-high and fry the bacon until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan with a spoon and drain on a paper towel.
  • Wipe the grease out of the skillet, put it back on the heat and add the chopped pecans. Stir until toasted, careful not to burn, about 3-4 minutes then remove from pan.
  • In the same skillet, heat the coconut oil, add the apple slices, and saute until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl mix the spices, lemon zest, and salt with a fork, then add to the apples. Continue cooking until apples are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon into a small dish or bowl and sprinkle with chopped pecans and bacon bits.


Thank me later. I do this because I love you.
