Everything's better with bacon - and that includes apple crisp! The combination of smoky, salty bacon and tart, sweet apples works surprisingly well. This works out to be mainly sweet but with some lovely savory/salty undertones. I've tried this only with regular bacon, but I'm planning to experiment with hickory smoked. Prep time does not include cooking the bacon or peeling, coring and slicing the apples.
