3. Sauté bacon in a small pan over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 1 tablespoons drippings. Add shallot to pan and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Deglaze pan with wine and apple juice; simmer 3 minutes. Whisk in syrup, Dijon, and lemon juice; bring sauce to a simmer.
