Broiled apples with brown sugar and bacon

That's right, you heard me.

Ingredients

• 2 apples. I don't even know what kind we used. Macintosh maybe. I don't know if it matters that much
• 3 tbsp (or however much it takes) brown sugar
• As much bacon as you want

Cut the apples in half lengthwise. Remove the core from each half. Slice the apples into rounds.
Preheat the broiler on your oven. Obtain a baking sheet and grease it. Put the apple rounds on the pan. Sprinkle the tops with as much brown sugar as you like.
Broil the apples for 3-5 minutes, or until the brown sugar has caramelized on the apples.
Remove from oven and set aside.
Set oven to 350.
Cook bacon and slice it. Top the apples with it.
Put the bacon-covered apples into the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven. Eat.

Thoughts: The texture was sort of weird on this one. The apples we used were (ahem) frozen to start with, and we didn't wait for them to thaw, so the apples were pretty soggy. If you start with normal apples, this wouldn't be an issue. I recommend using room-temperature ones.
Also, we didn't really wait for the brown sugar to caramelize over the apples before we removed them from the broiler. But the taste was there. Dan thinks we should rethink the format next time. He suggests using the same ingredients but putting them on a puff pastry sheet, or wrapping them in phyllo/fillo/whatever or something. Stay tuned.
