Tartlets with Smoked Bacon and Green Apple
Appetizers • Author's
Description
The combination of sweet fruits and meat always creates intrigue in appetizers, but the smoky essence of smoked bacon adds a new depth. The trick is to wrap apple slices in bacon and fry them in that form; they meld together beautifully: on top, a crispy, glistening bacon crust, and underneath, an apple slice transformed into a semi-puree, infused with the aroma of smokiness. If you find yourself with good smoked sausage in the fridge instead of bacon (which is likely for a festive occasion), don’t hesitate to slice it as thinly as possible and wrap the apples in it. You can also bake not only apples inside the smoked meat but also slices of firm pears or prunes.
