Add half of greens and toss until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute. Add remaining greens and saute until wilted, tender, and dry, about 15, 20 minutes. Transfer greens to plate lined with paper towels; cool.

Rinse and dry skillet. Beat eggs and salt to blend in large bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup Parmesan, then greens and half of bacon. Stir in ricotta.

Heat 1 tablespoon reserved drippings in skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture; spread greens evenly, then the caramelized apples. Sprinkle remaining bacon and 1/4 cup Parmesan over eggs.

Cut around frittata to loosen; (Hold your breath) and slide out onto platter. Let cool 30 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve, sprinkle with green onions or herbs, if desired.
