If you’re looking for a different spin on BLT, hold the mayo and think sweet and crunchy.
Since apple season is under way, this BLT gets a crunch from juicy crisp apple slices. And the juicy slice of tomato on a BLT pairs well with the apples.
All the ingredients in this BLT are paired with a sour cream sauce sweetened with cider instead of mayonnaise. The cider aioli is made by boiling down fresh cider to almost a syrup consistency.
Once reduced, the syrup is mixed with tangy sour cream. Use regular or reduced-fat sour cream or creme fraiche. If you’re not familiar with creme fraiche, it’s a tangy cream about the thickness of sour cream. Look for it near the specialty cheese in some grocery stores. You can substitute sour cream or make your own creme fraiche by mixing 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons buttermilk in a glass jar.
