Apple-Cinnamon Bourbon Breakfast Skillet

Ingredients

• 4 medium crisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 8 slices of bacon
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy; remove and set on paper towels.
2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add butter; once melted, add the apple slices.
3. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over apples, stirring occasionally until apples are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Carefully add bourbon to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to thicken.
5. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
6. Push apples to one side of the skillet and pour the eggs into the other side; gently scramble eggs until just set.
7. In a small saucepan, warm maple syrup then brush over cooked bacon slices.
8. Plate the scrambled eggs and caramelized apples, arrange bacon slices on the side, and garnish with fresh parsley.
9. Serve immediately for a comforting fall breakfast experience.
