Bacon & Blue Cheese Dinner Pies
Ingredients
  • 4
    slices bacon
  • 1
    8 1/2 ounce package corn muffin mix
  • 1/2
    cup all-purpose flour
  • 1
    teaspoon chili powder
  • 1
    egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4
    cup milk
  • 1/3
    cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1
    large Golden Delicious apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • Fresh thyme (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper; set aside. In a skillet cook bacon until crisp. Drain; reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. Chop bacon.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine muffin mix, flour, chili powder, egg, and milk with a fork. Use your hands to knead dough until it comes together. Divide dough into four portions. Place two portions on each prepared baking sheet and press to 6-inch circles using floured hands.

3. Top each circle with half of the cheese and a layer of apple slices, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold edges around apple slices, using floured hands if necessary. Brush apples and crust with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved bacon drippings.

4. Place baking sheets on separate oven racks. Bake for 10 minutes. Top each pie with remaining blue cheese and the bacon; return to separate racks and bake for 5 to 7 minutes more until edges are golden. If desired, sprinkle with thyme.

I thought the flavor combination was good, however, it was way too dry. Definitely needs some type of sauce or dressing.

Loved it. A little more milk and less flour made the base less dry. Thought I'd try adding a drizzle of maybe ranch dressing before serving. The real plus for me is that I always have the ingredients on hand so it's easy for a last minute choice.

This was terrible! I gave the recipe the benefit of the doubt because it looks so nice in the photos and I thought the mix of blue cheese, bacon and apples would be delightful. However, it was very disappointing; extremely dry and had a very unpleasant taste. I will never make this again.
