Brown Butter Streusel

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and sugar together.
  4. Stir in melted butter, sour cream, milk, eggs, vanilla, and apples until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top of batter, followed by streusel.
  6. Place pan in oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Recipe Notes

Optional: Add an extra degree of difficulty (and flavor) by pouring out half the batter in the cake pan, then adding a layer of streusel before adding the final half of batter and another layer of streusel on top--as pictured.

      Ingredients
      Servings: rolls
      Instructions
      1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
      2. Place bacon on a foiled-line baking sheet and place in oven for 10 minutes (bacon will finish cooking in later step).
      3. After 10 minutes, remove bacon from oven and place strips on paper towel-lined plate. Use paper towel to dab excess grease from bacon.
      4. Remove cinnamon rolls from package, and one by one, unroll cinnamon roll dough. Layer a strip of bacon on top of cinnamon roll dough and roll back up to return to original shape. You may first want to cut bacon in half lengthwise in order to better match the width of the dough.
      5. Once all rolls have had bacon added, bake rolls according to package directions, adding icing at the end. Enjoy!
      Recipe Notes

      *You will have extra bacon leftover, which you can finish in the oven by cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees F.

          Instructions
          1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
          2. (Make sure your dates are pitted--you don't want your guests breaking a tooth! If not pitted, make a small incision in each date and remove the pit.)
          3. Wrap each date in a half-slice of bacon and pin securely with a toothpick. Arrange on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
          4. Bake for about 15 minutes. Then turn dates over, baking for another 15 to 20 minutes.
          5. Serve warm or at room temperature. Dates can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.
          Recipe Notes

          Larger dates, about thumb-sized, work better.

          If desired, dates can be stuffed with a little something extra, like goat cheese, cream cheese, almonds or pecans!

              Servings: 2 cups
              Instructions
              1. Chop bacon slices down to 1/2-inch slices before cooking. Then fry in a large frying pan over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until bacon pieces are cooked but still chewy.
              2. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove bacon pieces from frying pan minus most of the bacon grease. Pour grease out of the pan, leaving about 1 tbsp. in the pan.
              3. Add onion to frying pan and cook for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the brown sugar and continue to cook on low for about 20 minutes, or until onions have caramelized.
              4. Add the coffee, 1/2 cup of water and the bacon pieces and increase the heat to medium, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick like jam, about 30 minutes.
              5. Remove from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Add salt to taste, if necessary.
              6. Bacon jam will last about one week in the fridge. Bits of white fat from the bacon may appear in jam when cold but will disappear as jam reaches room temperature.
