Roasted Apple, Bacon, And Frisée Salad

• 2 large apples (Braeburn or Fuji), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper plus more to taste
• 2 medium shallots, very thinly sliced and separated into rings
• 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
• 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
• 2 large bunches frisee lettuce, outer leaves removed (see notes)

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0. In a small bowl, combine apples, olive oil, syrup, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, then transfer apple slices to a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Stir, then continue to cook until golden brown and tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine shallots and vinegar. Set aside.
3. In a heavy frying pan over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp and brown, about 7 minutes; drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 3 tbsp. of the accumulated bacon fat and return pan to low heat. Remove shallots from vinegar, reserving shallots, and add vinegar to hot bacon fat, whisking until dressing is emulsified.
4. Arrange frisee in a bowl and add apples, bacon pieces, and shallots. Pour warm dressing over greens and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
5. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
6. Crispy frisee lettuce is a nice counterpoint to the rich bacon; substitute 5 sliced raw endives if you prefer.
