Ingredients

In the same pan, add the apple slices and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and caramelized.
Return the bacon to the pan and mix it with the apples. Season with salt and pepper.

Wine Pairing

For this dish, a fruity and spicy Gewürztraminer would be a great match, complementing the sweetness of the apples and balancing the saltiness of the bacon.
