Ingredient Notes
You only need 4 simple ingredients…
- Bacon – I just use regular breakfast bacon strips we’ve baked in the oven or fried in a pan. You’ll need warm, freshly cooked bacon for this, ready to wrap without breaking.
- Cream Cheese – This ingredient is totally optional, but it definitely gives the appetizer a creamy effect. It’s so delicious.
- Cheddar Cheese – We prefer to use extra sharp.
- Apples – Slice up your favorite kind of apples for a sweeter or more tart flavor. I love a good, crisp apple like Honeycrisp for this recipe.
