How to Make Apple Bean Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cups of cubed apples and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in ½ cup packed light brown sugar and ¼ cup granulated white sugar. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the apples begin to caramelize, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons molasses, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
  5. Stir in 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, drained. Mix thoroughly to coat the beans with the apple mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
