Easy Apple Baked Beans
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
I saw a recipe for baked beans that included diced apples in the recipe. It sounded interesting to me. I have had baked beans with pineapple in them but never apple.
This is a recipe that I developed to make some easy baked beans involving the apple. They are the perfect accompaniment to any barbecue meal.
This recipe is as simple enough as mixing together canned pork and bean, onion, apple, bbq sauce, brown sugar and green pepper.
Pour the mixture into a greased 11 x 7 baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 30-40 minutes until they reach the desired thickness. It’s that easy!
I am sure Dad would love them as part of his Father’s Day meal. The apple adds a nice flavor and new texture to the easy beans.
