Apple Bacon

Since this is a dish in clear violation of Mrs. Throat-Erator's don't-mix-fruit-with-food rule I only make it when she's not around.

Ingredients:
- smoked bacon, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, chopped coarsely
- 2 apples, cored and cut in boats
- water
- salt, pepper
- brown sugar

The bacon was fried in a large pan, then added the onion and a few minutes later added apples, a little water, salt, pepper and brown sugar - the pan was covered and the mix was allowed to simmer for about half an hour with occasional stirring. The simmering has to continue until the apples are turning mushy (and thus the time required is somewhat dependent on what kind of apples you use). Towards the end, the simmering was uncovered to reduce the amount of liquid a little.

Served still warm, either on whole grain rye or white bread - some people also like it on top of liver pâté...
