I have to bring an appetizer to a Holiday Party for an organization I belong to, and for some reason I decided that I wanted a fruit-based savory pie.  After some online research I ended up with this flavor combination, and then I found a recipe for a galette with these ingredients which I easily adapted to make a pie.

It was great! Easy and delicious.  Actually, more like satisfying and addictive.  It tastes good warm and cold, so it’s perfect for a holiday buffet.

Apple, Onion and Bacon Pie

Ingredients

• 8 oz bacon, coarsely chopped
• 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 2 or 3 apples, thinly sliced
• salt & sugar to taste
• 2 9″ pie shells

Directions

Cook bacon over medium heat in a deep frying pan until crispy.  Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon bits and set aside.  Pour out all but 1 Tbsp. grease from the pan and reserve.  Add the onion slices and cook until soft, stirring occasionally.  Add the apple slices and cook until soft.  Return the bacon to the pan and mix.  Taste and add salt and sugar as needed.  Set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 400F (or the temperature indicated by your pie shell recipe).

Put the pie shell into your pie pan and press tightly.  Add the cooled filling.  Top with the other pie shell, sealing the borders with the bottom shell. Make several cuts on the top shell and bake until golden, about 30 minutes.
