Fried Apples with Bacon and Pecans

My one-stoplight hometown in Pennsylvania was tucked between coal mines and Amish country, so daytrips to Bucks County often ended in a diner where fried apples were almost always on the menu. This dessert strays from the standard Amish recipe, but I believe bacon is a worthy break from tradition. These tender slices of apple, dusted with cinnamon and sprinkled with pecans and bacon, melt on your tongue and taste like love.
