Reviews
My family and I love these baked beans. They’re easy to prepare and pack a lot of flavor. Once we resume hosting get togethers this will definitely be on my buffet table.
Made this for our 4th of July BBQ. It went really well with the ribs we grilled. Based on the previous review that said it was a little sweet, I measured the 1/4 cup of brown sugar, but didn’t pack it firmly. It was just the right amount of sweetness for the tart apple IMO.
A little too sweet and I’m not a fan of canned beans.
This is a wonderful recipe that has very much been a favorite of my family since I first tried it. It tastes like real scratch baked beans! Will never go backed to “doctored” up canned baked beans again!
