Apple pie baked beans? Baked beans already balance sweet and savory flavors, so why not? This take on the dish comes together quickly, without the long, slow cooking time needed for beans from scratch.

Ingredients

1/2 pound bacon strips, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (28 ounces each) baked beans
1 can (20 ounces) apple pie filling
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, 6-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon; drain on paper towel. Add onion; cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 1 minute.
Stir in baked beans, apple pie filling, cooked bacon, brown sugar, vinegar and salt. Simmer until thickened and flavors have melded, 20-25 minutes.
