Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) package unbaked pie crust
1/2 (8 ounce) package bacon
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 large apple - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/2 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon dried sage

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of an 11-inch tart pan.
2 Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool.
3 Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4 Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble.
5 Heat bacon grease in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add apple and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in bacon.
6 Whisk milk, sour cream, eggs, sea salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
7 Layer apple mixture, Cheddar cheese, and egg mixture in the prepared crust. Sprinkle sage over top.
8 Bake in the preheated oven until set, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
