Apple Brie & Bacon Foccacia: October is right here and what higher time to share some apple love? One of many advantages of residing the place I do (outdoors Philadelphia) within the fall is that apples are domestically ample – even the farm 15 miles from us boast over 25 varieties. And whereas I like me some good old school apple pie or a effervescent apple crisp, I needed to strive a savory recipe for this month’s AppleLove BlogHop. I began with my favourite rosemary foccacia recipe, a bunch of Fujis and went from there.
