Savory Apple Pie: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Dessert

Today’s Inspired Dish: Savory Apple Pie

As the leaves begin to change color and the chill of autumn settles in, I find myself craving warm, comforting dishes that remind me of cozy evenings by the fireplace. That’s why I’m excited to share with you my recipe for a unique twist on a classic dessert – Savory Apple Pie. This dish combines the sweet and tart flavors of traditional apple pie with savory ingredients for a truly unforgettable culinary experience.

To create this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

• boneless chicken thighs (400g)
• apples (2 large, thinly sliced)
• bacon strips (6, chopped)
• cheddar cheese (100g, shredded)
• onion (1, diced)
• fresh rosemary (2 tsp, chopped)
• pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• salt and pepper to taste

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• skillet
• oven
• pie dish

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brown them in the bacon fat until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it into small pieces.

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add the sliced apples and rosemary, cooking until the apples are slightly softened. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Line a pie dish with the pie crust, then spread the chicken, apple, and onion mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the crispy bacon on top, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the filling with another layer of pie crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

Bake the savory apple pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

The approximate total weight of the cooked savory apple pie is 1200g, with 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on top of the pie crust before baking. This creates a delicious cheesy crust that adds an extra layer of flavor to the dish.

I hope you give this unique Savory Apple Pie a try and make it your own with different variations of cheeses, herbs, or even adding a touch of spice. Enjoy this twist on a classic dessert and let its savory flavors warm you up on a crisp autumn day!
