Bacon Wrapped Apple Bites

 

If you’re looking for an app to WOW your guests definitely give these a try!

Chef Alina always makes the best combos!

Enjoy!!

 

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices bacon cut in half
  • 1 apple cored and sliced – I prefer Gala Empire or Cortland
  • ¼ cup Clyde Mays Whiskey optional
  • 1 tablespoon maple sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 oz thick Cheddar cheese slices sharp cheddar is best
  • 1 tsp Fresh Thyme
  • Fresh cracked black pepper

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and set one aside.
  2. Cook the bacon, in the oven, on one of the prepared baking sheets until just about crispy (10-15 min). You want to undercook them a bit because they’ll continue to cook with the apples. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the apples, whiskey, sugar, and thyme.
  4. Place a slice of cheese on top of a slice of apple and then wrap in a half slice of bacon. Hold it in place with a toothpick. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the bacon crisps and the cheese melts. Transfer to a platter, top with fresh cracked pepper, and try not to eat them all yourself.
