About the dish

äppelfläsk is a traditional dish that's made with a combination of butter, onions, tart apples, salt pork or bacon, and black pepper. The butter is melted, and the bacon is lightly browned in the butter. The onions are thinly sliced, then fried in the skillet with the apple rings. When both are cooked, the drained bacon is placed back into the skillet, and the dish is simmered until everything's heated through. The dish is seasoned with black pepper, and it's then ready to be served. äppelfläsk is especially popular in the winter due to its hearty and greasy qualities.
