Sometimes I Mess with History

[Trapper John]

I came across a mention in some book recently that President Grant liked apples, bacon, and biscuits. Not sure if that's true or not but it sounded good. I remembered it tonight and decided to play with it. So, I rendered out some bacon fat and tossed in a couple of sliced Granny Smith apples. Cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and some apple cider went in. I mixed up a small batch of buttermilk biscuit dough, tore it into chunks, and layered it in the bottom of a fairly heavily buttered cast iron pan. The apples went on top. Baked at 425 for roughly 30 minutes. I was going to skip this part, but I gave in and mixed some buttermilk, confectioners sugar, and vanilla for a light icing.

No idea what to call it but it sure was good.
