•
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
•
3/4 cup milk
•
1/2 cup sour cream

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.
