Add half the butter to the pan and fry the apple slices for 3-4 minutes until golden, then set aside with the bacon.

Wipe out the pan, add the remaining butter and heat until foaming. Season the scallops and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden outside and just opaque in the centre.

Pour in the cider and let it bubble for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits.

Return the bacon and apples to the pan to warm through.
