Apple Bacon Bites – Alice Spickard, Raleigh (3rd place)

The below recipe is how the recipe was judged and took home third place.  I made it that way and then tweaked it a little because I like more of the filling and less breading.  Here are my changes: Delete the 2 TBSP Flour.  Increase the cheese to ¾ cups, 8 slices of bacon, 2-½ cups apple.  Reduce the self-rising flour to 1-½ cups.  Add ½ tsp. of sugar, salt and pepper.

6

2
cups peeled and diced North Carolina apples
2
cups self-rising flour
1
stick butter, melted
1

Directions

Preheat oven to 400.

Mix flour, brown sugar, curry powder, cheddar cheese and bacon together in a small bowl. Add diced apples and mix together. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix self-rising flour, melted butter and sour cream to make a batter.

Combine the two mixtures gently and drop 1-2 teaspoons batter into un-greased mini muffin tins.
