Apple Tartiflette Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
• 2 onions, sliced thin
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1 lb. thick-cut bacon, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2-3 apples, thinly sliced
• 1 lb. reblochon cheese, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup white wine
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crispy and set aside. Drain most of the bacon fat, leaving only about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
3. Saute onions and garlic in the bacon fat until translucent.
4. Add potato slices and enough water to barely cover them.
5. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking.
6. While the potatoes are cooking, peel, core, and slice the apples.
7. Grease a baking dish with butter.
8. Drain the potato mixture and place half of it into the baking dish.
9. Add a layer of apples on top of the potatoes, followed by a layer of crispy bacon.
10. Repeat layering with the remaining potato mixture, apples, and bacon.
11. Pour the white wine over the top of the tartiflette.
12. Top the tartiflette with slices of reblochon cheese.
13. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
14. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Verdict:

This Apple Tartiflette is a decadent and flavorful twist on the classic French dish. The addition of sweet and tart apples perfectly complements the savory bacon and creamy melted cheese. This dish is perfect for a cozy fall meal or holiday dinner party.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with a side of fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to balance out the richness of the tartiflette. Pair with a crisp white wine or a light red wine for the perfect pairing.
