Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and set one aside.
• Cook the bacon, in the oven, on one of the prepared baking sheets until just about crispy (10-15 min). You want to under cook them a bit because they'll continue to cook with the apples. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the apples, whiskey, sugar and thyme.
• Place a slice of cheese on top of a slice of apple and then wrap in a half slice of bacon. Hold in place with a toothpick. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the bacon crisps and the cheese melts. Transfer to a platter, top with fresh cracked pepper, and try not to eat them all yourself.
