Spicy Apple Baked Beans image

Who knew that sausage and apples in baked beans would be so good?! The spicy/sweet combination in this recipe is divine. Chunks of apple are a tasty surprise and pair well with the sausage. There's only a hint of the nutmeg... it leaves your taste buds wondering what's that spice. This hearty side dish will be the perfect...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

55 oz can of Bush's original baked beans
1 large apple (I used Fuji), diced or cut into chunks
1/2 c natural applesauce
fresh grated nutmeg, to taste
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 pinch small pinch, cayenne pepper
2-4 Tbsp brown sugar, light
1 lb hot ground sausage (I used venison sausage)
1 small onion, diced

Steps:

  • 1. Brown the sausage with the onions. Drain off grease.
  • 2. Place the applesauce, apple chunks, mustard, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper into a bowl. Grate in fresh nutmeg (it only takes a little nutmeg too much will overpower the other flavors). Stir together until mixed well.
  • 3. In a large bowl, mix the spicy apple mixture into the beans. Fold in sausage and onions.
  • 4. Bake in a glass or stoneware dish at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
