Apple Egg Casserole

I am listening to "Death of the Party" by Carolyn G. Hart. Annie & Max are staying at a bed & breakfast on a private island, and busy solving a murder. (All in a day's work for our heroine and her hunky husband!) Anyhow, the story mentions a breakfast casserole featuring eggs and apples and bacon and cheddar cheese, all of which sounded wonderful, so I found this recipe on Cooks.com and tried it the other night. Little Man's father pronounced it delicious and worthy of being cooked again soon. So, without further ado...

APPLE - EGG CASSEROLE
Printed from COOKS.COM

4 cooking apples, peeled & thinly sliced
2 tbsp. sugar
2 c. shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 lb. bacon, fried & crumbled
1 1/2 c. Bisquick mix
1 1/2 c. milk
4 eggs, beaten
Combine apples and sugar. Mix well. Spread evenly in a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle bacon and cheese on top.

Combine remaining ingredients and beat at medium speed until smooth. Pour over cheese and bacon. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Great breakfast or brunch dish.

(Note: To lower the carbs, I used splenda instead of sugar and carbquick instead of bisquick. Tasted fine to me. )
