 Categories: Pies, Desserts, Fruits, Pork
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
           Pastry for a 9" pie; store
           - bought OK
    3/4 c  Brown sugar; packed
      2 tb Corn starch
      1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Fresh grated nutmeg
    1/2 ts Ground cardamom
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
      6 c  Sweet apples; cored, peeled,
           - sliced 1/2" thick
      8 sl Uncooked thick cut
           - applewood-smoked bacon;
           - up to 12 sl
 
  Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.
  
  Place the pie shell on a sturdy baking sheet and set
  aside.
  
  In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, corn starch,
  cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves together until
  blended. Add the apples and toss to coat. Dump the
  spiced apple slices into the pie shell, including any
  sugar and juices that have accumulated in the bowl.
  
  Weave the uncooked bacon on top of the pie filling,
  starting from the center and working your way out to the
  edges. For a lattice topping you should have an over-
  under pattern with 5 pieces going vertically and five
  pieces going horizontally. Trim the edges and pinch into
  the crust to seal.
  
  Cover pie with foil and bake in the middle of the oven
  for 1 hour. Remove cover. Continue baking for 15 minutes
  or until golden brown and bacon is crisp.
  
  Let pie cool for 1 hour before cutting.
  
  Makes a 9" pie (6 servings the way I cut it)
