Hot Dogs with an English Twist

Directions

1. Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium-high heat and add the oil.
2. Score the hot dogs in a crosshatch pattern on all sides using a knife to help them crisp and absorb flavor.
3. Place the hot dogs onto the hot surface and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and slightly crispy on the outside.
4. Warm the hot dog buns on a cooler part of the grill or in a pan until lightly toasted, being careful not to burn them.
5. While the buns are still warm, add grated cheese inside so it begins to melt.
6. Crush the pork scratchings into small pieces, leaving some texture for extra crunch.
7. Place each cooked hot dog into a bun and spoon over apple sauce.
8. Add mustard if using, then sprinkle generously with the crushed pork scratchings.
9. Serve immediately while hot, with a balance of sweet apple sauce, tangy mustard, and crunchy topping
10. Remember to Be Good, Do Good and Eat Good.
