Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 slices Bacon; 1 whole Small Onion, Chopped; 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs; 1 Tablespoon Butter, For Dish; 3 whole Honey Crisp Apples; 3 whole Celery Roots; 1-2/3 cup Heavy Cream; 2 teaspoons Salt; 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper; 1-1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice; 8 ounces, weight Gouda Cheese, Shredded

1
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the grease. Once cooled, crumble.
2
Place the chopped onion in the hot bacon grease. Saute for 3-5 minutes until softened and slightly browned. Remove the onions from the skillet.
3
Turn the heat off and add the panko to the bacon grease and toss. Set aside.
4
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9x13 baking dish (or LARGE quiche dish) and set aside.
5
Peel the apples and celery root. Using the KitchenAid slicer/shredder attachment, slice the apples and celery root paper-thin. (You could use a veggie peeler to do this.)
6
Place the apples and celery root in a large bowl. Add the onions, cream, salt, pepper, pumpkin pie spice, and shredded Gouda to the bowl. Stir well.
7
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and press to level.
8
Mix the panko and crumbled bacon and sprinkle over the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes-until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling. If the top starts getting too dark, loosely cover with foil.
9
Allow the gratin to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
