My aunt makes these (they have an apple orchid) but she uses butter instead of bacon grease. They are so delicious. I have not ever had the ones from Cracker Barrel but the recipe looked the same so I wanted to share it.

These are delicious beyond words. I have never made them with the bacon drippings, I have always used butter and they are out of this world goooooood.

Bacon grease... I can feel my arteries hardening... I make chunky applesauce with mostly the same ingedients, but instead of the bacon drippings, use 1/4 cup water or apple juice. It's fat free!
