Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust
- 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (cornflour)
- 1 tablespoon Amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 10 slices bacon
Equipment
- 9 inch skillet
Directions
- Preheat the camp oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch skillet and leave the edges overhanging. (The pie crust may be taken out of the foil tray that it comes in or the whole tray placed in the skillet.)
- Mix together the sliced apples, brown sugar, nutmeg, cloves, cornstarch, Amaretto liqueur, and maple syrup.
- Place the apples, along with any remaining syrup, in the pie crust making sure the apples all lay flat so there are no large air pockets.
- Create the bacon lattice pattern on a chopping board then transfer over the top of the pie.
- Trim the bacon to the edge of the pie with butchering scissors or a knife. Fold the bacon edges down between the edge of the apples and the pie crust.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated camp oven, or until bacon is crisp and filling is bubbling.
