Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 9 squares

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced, plus more for the baking dish
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
8 slices bacon, diced
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup pecans, plus more for topping
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish and line with nonstick foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Lightly butter the foil.
  • Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the lemon juice and pulse until the dough just comes together. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes; drain on paper towels. Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla and vinegar in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Scatter the pecans and bacon over the prepared crust, then pour in the filling. Bake until the filling is set and the nuts are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack, then lift out of the pan using the overhanging foil. Cut into squares and top with ice cream and more pecans.

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 slices bacon
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie
10 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup butter
½ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place bacon on a baking sheet and sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Line a 9-inch springform pan with pie crust pastry; refrigerate.
  • Combine apples and lemon juice in a bowl and toss to coat.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat; add maple syrup and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer until mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Carefully add apples and stir well to coat. Cook until apples just start to soften and get a bit of color on them, about 5 minutes. Return the apples to the bowl leaving behind the sweet syrup.
  • Stir vinegar into sweet syrup; simmer until syrup is reduced and consistency of maple syrup, about 5 minutes. Carefully pour syrup over the apples. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • Combine flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor; pulse until crumbly. Break bacon into pieces, add to food processor, and pulse until combined with the crumble.
  • Tip apples into the pie crust in the springform pan. Fold dough over part of the apple filling to form an edge. Crimp the edges between your fingers. Top the apple filling with the crumble. Brush crust with cream and top with white sugar.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven until the juices bubble and the crust is deeply golden, about 1 hour. If the crust starts to brown too quickly turn the oven down to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
