1 lemon, juiced
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cut into small blocks
1 tablespoon cornstarch
6 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ginger
FOR THE FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS:

1 large Organic Valley egg
½ cup Organic Valley whole milk
6 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
ASSEMBLY:

2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
METHOD FOR APPLE-BACON FILLING
Begin by crisping the bacon in a saucepan. Once crisp, remove the bacon but leave the fat in the pan. Add the apples to the pan, sprinkle lemon juice over apples in a saucepan.
Mix the cornstarch, sugar, and spices together and add to apples. Mix well and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and cool. Chop the bacon and add half to the filling. Set aside.
METHOD FOR FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS
Cut the crust away from the bread slices and flatten them with a rolling pin.
Place two teaspoons of apple filling on each bread slice and spread it over 2/3 of the surface. Roll each slice to form a small roll.
In a separate bowl or plate mix the sugar and cinnamon.
Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk.
In a frying pan, heat the coconut oil and butter. Bathe the rolls in the egg-milk mixture and fry until golden brown on all sides. Add oil to the pan when needed.
While the rolls are still hot, roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until completely covered in sugar.
Serve while still warm with the whipped cream and the remaining chopped bacon.
