    Sweet & Savory Apple Pie | The Foodie Eats

    One thing I love about cooking is experimenting with flavors and discovering something new and amazing. That is exactly what happened with this sweet and savory apple pie! I'd heard of people putting cheese slices on top on apple pie, but never tried it. So I figured... why not put it in the pie itself. And as far as the bacon goes. Well, everything is just better with bacon. It's a fact.

    Get One Of These for Slicing

    Ever wonder how to get perfectly uniform slices? Well, it's possible to use a food processor (if the vegetable or fruit will fit). But more than likely you'll need a good mandoline. Not only will it ensure all the ingredients cook at the same speed, but it will cut your prep time by more than half. And that will always make a new tool worth it. I recommend this one. And while you're at it, I recommend getting a  Y Peeler too.

      Thanks for sharing this recipe. I wanted to make a vegetarian savory apple and cheddar pie for dinner tonight so I adapted your recipe. As a substitute for bacon, I added chia seeds, oatmeal and smoked paprika. I used Ellie Krieger's recipe for a no-roll olive oil pie crust on the bottom and no top crust so the baking time was reduced by about half. Delicious! For the side, I served a tossed salad with a fig-balsamic vinaigrette. Thanks again for the inspiration!
