Fried Apples
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare
Core the apples and cut them in half.
Fill the apple halves with thinly sliced and rolled bacon.
Place a piece of bacon in the bottom of a ramekin.
Put the filled apple halves on top of the bacon in the ramekin.
Bake
Place the ramekins in a pan with water to prevent drying.
Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven.

What each ingredient does
- Apples
- Provide the sweet, tender fruit base that softens during baking.
- Bacon
- Adds savory, salty flavor and fat that browns and renders as it cooks.
The step that matters
Place the ramekins in a pan with water. The water bath surrounds the ramekins with gentle heat and moisture, which helps keep the apples and bacon from drying out in the oven.
