Bacon-Wrapped Cinnamon Apples
These delightful bites are perfect for any gathering, whether you’re impressing guests or just treating yourself to a delicious snack. With everyone’s favorite duo—bacon and apples—you’re bound to create smiles (and maybe a few bacon-induced dreams)!
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work wonders)
- 8 slices of crispy bacon
- 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (or a swap for a sugar alternative)**
- Wooden skewers (if you want to be super fancy and make some bacon-wrapped apple kabobs)
Instructions:
- First things first, preheat that oven of yours to 400°F (200°C). We want it nice and toasty for these beauties.
- While the oven is heating, wash those lovely apples and core them. For an extra touch of fun, you could slice a tiny bit off the bottom to help them stand upright.
- Next, grab your bacon! Wrap each apple with two slices of bacon, preferably overlapping slightly. This isn’t a beauty contest, but the more bacon, the better! Secure it with a toothpick or a skewer if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Now sprinkle those wrapped apples with a joyous blend of cinnamon and brown sugar, ensuring each apple is sprinkled to perfection. You want the sweet and spicy aroma to fill the air! Can you smell it yet?
- Place the apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (because nobody likes bacon grease cleaning duty).
- Pop them in the preheated oven and let the magic happen for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the apples are tender, yet firm enough to still maintain their lovely apple shape.
- Once done, allow them to cool just enough so you don’t burn your tongue. But let’s be honest, a little crispy bacon grease is worth the risk, right?
- Serve warm, maybe topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzled with some maple syrup for the ultimate indulgence!
There you have it! A delightful dish that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. So grab your friends, whip up some Bacon-Wrapped Cinnamon Apples, and enjoy the sweet symphony of flavors! Yum!
