, one half shaped and chilled in a pie plate, the other rolled out flat and chilled on a floured sheet pan
3 pounds apples (recommend: Pippins or other tart baking apple), peeled, cored, and diced into 1/4 inch pieces
1 pound uncured bacon, cut into thick lardons
1/2 cup chopped prunes, pits removed
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup chopped figs
2 tablespoons light molasses
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup butter
Zest of 1 orange
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Egg wash: 1 egg and 1 pinch of salt, beaten together

1
Saute bacon lardons in a frying pan over medium heat, cooking until just crispy and most of the fat has rendered out. Strain the contents of the pan, reserving 1/2 cup of the bacon fat and the lardons. The remaining fat may be discarded. Allow the bacon fat to cool a bit at room temperature, then place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2
Combine all of the ingredients except for the crust and egg wash in a large bowl. Press plastic wrap down on the surface of the mixture and cover the bowl. Allow the mixture to soak in the fridge at least overnight (2 days is preferred).
3
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Fill the chilled bottom crust with the mixture and cover the top with the rolled out, chilled top crust. Shape the edges and cut slits in the top. Allow the shaped pie to chill for 1/2 hour in the fridge. Brush the top with egg wash and place the pie on the lowest rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes at 425u00b0F, rotating the pie halfway through. Then, turn the oven down to 375u00b0F and bake the pie for 30 minutes, turning halfway through, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling all over. If you are concerned that parts of the crust are becoming too dark, place a patch of foil over the effected areas to protect them from the heat. Allow the pie to cool completely 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

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
