Description

This comforting side dish transforms simple canned vegetarian baked beans into a gourmet treat with the addition of fresh apples and raisins. The tartness of the Granny Smith apple cuts through the sweetness of the beans, creating a balanced flavor profile that appeals to both bean lovers and skeptics alike. Perfect for summer barbecues, cookouts, or as a hearty vegetarian accompaniment to grilled meats, these beans are easy to prepare and cook beautifully in a foil pan directly over the grill or on the stovetop. The result is a warm, satisfying mixture with a rich texture and home-style charm that brings everyone to the table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel, core, and chop the apple into small chunks.
  2. In a large foil pan, combine the canned vegetarian baked beans, chopped apple, and raisins.
  3. If using, stir in the minced dried onion.
  4. Place the foil pan directly over medium coals on the grill or heat on the stovetop over medium heat.
  5. Cook uncovered for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the mixture is heated through and reaches your desired consistency.

Note

This recipe yields approximately 6 servings.

For best results, use a sturdy aluminum foil pan that can withstand direct heat.

Granny Smith apples are recommended for their tartness, but Honeycrisp or Gala apples can also be used for a sweeter variation.

Minced dried onion is optional but adds a nice savory depth to the dish.

These beans can also be heated on the stovetop if a grill is not available.

Serve warm as a side dish with grilled meats, burgers, or as a vegetarian main course.
