Canned pie filling is convenient but lacks texture and flavor; adding crispy bacon can elevate it by introducing saltiness and umami, significantly enhancing the dessert.
For apple pie filling, the cinnamon and brown sugar notes complement bacon's savory flavor. This hack diversifies the often mucusy texture of canned fillings.
Using fully cooked bacon is essential, as it won’t fully cook under the crust. Leftover grease can even be used for a flaky pie crust.
Consider making a bacon-latticed pie to enhance apple pie, as it balances salty, savory, and sweet notes, offering a distinct twist on the traditional dessert.
