Apple Bacon Wraps Recipes

BACON WRAPPED BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl mash together butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
• Cut apples in half through the core. Use a paring knife to hollow out the center of each apple half, leaving the stem intact.
• Stuff each apple half full with the butter mixture.
• Wrap each apple tightly with bacon and move it to a baking sheet lined with foil. Secure the bacon under the apple so it stays in place as it bakes.
• Bake apples for about 20 minutes until they are fork tender and the bacon is crispy in parts. It probably won't be crispy all over just due to the liquid in the apples.
• Remove apples and let cool for a few minutes.
• Cut apples in half and serve with ice cream!

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Stir together mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
• Pat pork tenderloin dry. Without cutting all the way through, slice the tenderloin lengthwise and open like a book. Spread mustard mixture evenly over the inside and outside of the tenderloin, then season with salt and pepper.
• Place apple slices on one side of the tenderloin. Spread onions on top of the apples and sprinkle with thyme. Close the tenderloin, tucking apples and onions inside.
• Line up bacon slices in a rectangle shape on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, with each piece overlapping slightly. Place the stuffed tenderloin across the top ends of the bacon. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin and start to roll it like a jellyroll until it's completely wrapped with bacon.
• Secure both ends of the tenderloin and each bacon slice with a wooden toothpick. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread out the foil to protect the pan from drippings.
• Cook in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and let rest until internal temperature has risen to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 5 to 10 minutes.

BACON APPLES

Steps:

• Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals. Rake the coals into a flat bed on one side of the fire. Alternatively, preheat an outdoor grill.
• Place apples in a loaf pan. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; spoon into each apple.
• Place the loaf pan into the campfire or on the grill; cook for about 3 minutes. Carefully remove the pan from the fire and sprinkle bacon over apples. Place in the fire or on the grill for about 5 minutes more.
