How to Make Bacon Crumble Apple Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Refrigerate the crumble topping for at least 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a large bowl, gently toss 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced) with ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Pour the apple mixture into a 9-inch pie crust. Sprinkle the bacon crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Place the pie on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Then, loosely cover the edges of the pie with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Continue baking for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a knife.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
