Servings: muffins
Instructions
For the muffins
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray the cups of a muffin pan with baking spray.
  2. Peel and core apple, then chop into bite-size pieces.
  3. In a bowl, toss apple slices with maple syrup, lemon and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, whisk Bisquick, eggs, milk and vanilla until thoroughly mixed.
  5. Evenly separate apples into the bottom of each muffin cup
  6. Pour the batter on top of the apples, filling the cups almost to the top.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pancakes are set.
  8. Allow to cool.
For the topping
  1. Slice bacon into very tiny pieces—almost as small as bacon bits.
  2. Place in a skillet on low heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Place a medium pot of water on the stove and bring it to simmer. Keep on medium-low heat.
  4. In a large bowl, preferably glass, combine the egg whites, sugar and maple syrup with a whisk.
  5. Place the glass bowl over the pot of simmering water. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes, or until the sugars have completely dissolved.
  6. Remove the bowl from the heat and whip on high speed until the mixture is completely cool.
  7. Once cooled, add in butter one tablespoon at a time, whipping at high speed.
  8. Pipe the topping onto the cupcakes and garnish with bacon!
Recipe Notes

For the topping, look for a glass mixing bowl that has a slightly larger circumference than the pot with boiling water.

Also, make sure there is no warmth at all in the topping before the butter is added.

  1. Prepare the Kung Pao sauce by stirring all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl until the sugar and cornstarch are dissolved. Set aside.

Pour in the Kung Pao sauce and mix to coat the other ingredients. Stir in peanuts then transfer to serving plate and garnish with scallion greens on top.

Ingredients

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 200°F.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs.
  4. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
  5. In a large cast-iron, nonstick skillet or on a griddle, cook bacon over medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is browned on one side, about 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and crisp on the underside, about 1-3 minutes more.
  6. Set bacon aside on paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tsp fat from skillet, saving excess bacon fat in a container.
  7. Heat skillet over medium. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into skillet and top each with a bacon slice.
  8. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip the pancakes and cook until browned on the underside, about 2 minutes more.
  9. Transfer to a platter, bacon side up, and loosely tent with foil.
  10. Keep pancakes warm in the oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup.
