A New Thanksgiving Tradition

My friend Barb posted this on facebook and I had to share as you know how I love bacon!  Yes, a bacon apple pie.  I can see it making an appearance in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving.

What you will need
1/2 (14.1-oz.) package refrigerated pie crusts
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
6 cups (1/2-inch-thick) slices peeled Fuji apple (5 apples)
10 to 12 applewood-smoked country bacon slices

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll pie crust, and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold edges under.

2. Stir together brown sugar and next 5 ingredients with a fork in a large bowl. Add apple slices, tossing to coat. Arrange apple slices in prepared crust, spooning sugar and accumulated juices over apple.

3. Arrange bacon slices in a lattice design over filling; gently press ends of strips, sealing to pie crust.

4. Cover pie with aluminum foil. Place pie on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Remove foil. Bake for 40 more minutes or until crust is golden brown and bacon is crisp.

5. Remove pie from baking sheet, and let cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before cutting into wedges.
