Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.

Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.

On the menu at Mondegreen Cafe is the apple sty pie.

This warm apple pie is laced with maple in a bacon fat shortcrust pastry, topped with maple candied bacon and served with a creamy maple bacon ice cream.

Chefs Kris Payne and Peter Dawson have been working together for over seven years and have a shared love for recipe development.

With a mutual love for desserts and home-style baking, they were naturally drawn to the classic apple pie.

"The combination of tart apples, rich maple syrup and salty, smoky bacon struck the perfect balance of sweet, savoury and indulgent," Kris and Peter said.

Dine-in only

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
