Onion and Apple Gratin

By á-708

Onions and apples make an interesting combination of flavors and textures. This quick and easy side dish goes great with just about everything.

Ingredients

• 4 large onions, thinly sliced
• 4 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) chicken stock or water
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) bread crumbs
• 2 Tbs (30 ml) bacon fat

Preparation

Step 1

Place the onions, apples, and bacon in alternating layers in a greased baking dish. Add the chicken stock. Heat the bacon fat (left over from cooking the bacon) in a small skillet and add the bread crumbs, stirring until the crumbs have absorbed the bacon fat and are lightly toasted. Bake covered in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the onion mixture and bake uncovered until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
