Create a dough using the flour, eggs, oil, salt and apple juice. Allow to swell for 10 minutes.
Now place a large spoonful of dough on a cutting board and scrape oval-shaped/elongated pieces of dough into boiling salt water with a dough scraper. Alternatively, use a dough planer. Remove the pieces of dough from the water with a sieve as soon as they rise to the surface. Repeat this process until the dough is used up.

Peel the apples and cut them into medium-sized cubes. Caramelise the sugar in a non-stick pan, add the butter, and allow to foam. Then add the apple pieces to the pan, together with the ginger, the juice of the lime and the cinnamon, and simmer until the apple pieces are infused. Do not allow to become too soft! Now add the bacon and the dough pieces, give everything a quick swirl, and serve hot!
