Zubereitung von Maple Apple Baked Beans
- Rinse 2 pounds of dried navy beans and place them in a large soup kettle.
- Add 10 cups of water, ensuring the beans are covered by 2 inches.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Boil for 2 minutes, then immediately remove from heat.
- Cover and let the beans soak for 1 hour.
- Drain the beans and rinse thoroughly under cold water; discard the soaking liquid.
- Return the rinsed beans to the soup kettle and add 10 cups of fresh water.
- Bring the beans back to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low.
- Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
- Drain the beans, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Line the bottom of a 4-quart baking dish with 4 slices of bacon.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained beans, 1 medium chopped onion (1 cup), 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
- Spoon the bean mixture over the bacon in the baking dish.
- Pour 1/2 cup of maple syrup evenly over the beans.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 3 hours. Gently stir occasionally and add reserved bean liquid if needed to prevent sticking.
- Arrange 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced, over the top of the beans.
- In a small mixing bowl, cream together 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over the sliced apples.
- Cover and bake for another 1 hour, or until the beans are tender. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
