I Made An Apple Pie Hot Dog Last Night....

[global1]

Ever since the Field Of Dreams game I've had this craving to eat an Apple Pie Hot Dog.

So yesterday I gathered the fixin's for it and put one together.

My challenge was making the 'bacon jam'. I failed with my first attempt and it smoked out my kitchen as I guess I had the heat turned up too much. The resultant concoction hardened in my pan and it had to be scraped and scrubbed in order to recover the pan.

My second attempt at the 'bacon jam' was done more gingerly and it came out great. The trick is to keep the heat real low and keep stirring until it come together in a syrupy consistency.

So with the 'bacon jam' complete - the rest was easy.

So my attempt at the Apple Pie Hot Dog even if it didn't look as elegant as Guy's - it did taste good. It satisfied my craving and I'll make it again - next time - I'll make a whole batch.

2. What is this thing you call an Apple Pie Hot Dog? It is beyond my ken...

No. Really. I don't think we have those on the south. I've never heard of it before, but I am intrigued.

3. Chevrolet Was A Sponsor For The Recent MLB Field Of Dreams Game & The Dog Was A Promotion.....

They enlisted the talents of Guy Fieri to come up with the recipe as a throwback to their years old successful promotion - "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie & Chevrolet". Remember that?

Here's a youtube link to the recipe:

6. That explains a lot

Fieri by many local accounts has a lot of good qualities - he was providing meals to firefighters and displaced people in Sonoma county well before Jose Andres made it his thing - but when it comes to his tastes in food - well, wretched excess seems an understatement. I'll stick with a simple hotdog and a slice of apple pie for dessert
