How to Make Bacon Apple Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, gently mix 1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Pour the apple mixture into one 9-inch pie crust.
- Smooth the filling evenly with a spatula.
- Prepare the bacon weave: Lay two strips of bacon (approximately 6 inches long) across the pie, intersecting in the middle at right angles.
- Rotate the pie so that the lower strip of bacon points towards you.
- Add more bacon strips to the left and right, creating an alternating over-under pattern with each new strip. Continue to create alternating over-under patterns until you have approximately 5-6 strips of bacon running from the front to the back of the pie, with one strip weaving over and under them side-to-side.
- Next to the side-to-side strip, start laying down another strip of bacon.
- Create an over-under pattern opposite the first one by lifting up alternating strips, laying this piece down, and replacing the lifted strips. Repeat for this strip of bacon.
- Continue adding bacon strips on both sides, creating an alternating over-under weave until the entire pie is covered.
- Trim any bacon strips that hang over the edges of the pie crust. Save the trimmings for later use (e.g., in salads or as a garnish).
- To prevent spills, place the pie on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the filling is bubbly. The baking time may vary based on your oven and pie crust.
- Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of caramel praline, dulce de leche, or your favorite ice cream. If desired, you can cook up the bacon trimmings and garnish the ice cream with them!
