DIRECTIONS
- Pre-heat a convection oven to 350°F.
- Place chopped bacon in a large skillet and cover with water. Render bacon over medium-high heat until water is evaporated, once water is gone reduce heat to medium and continue to cook bacon until crisp stirring often.
- Add onions to the bacon and sauté for a few minutes, and then deglaze with bourbon and flame to remove alcohol. Reduce the bourbon slightly to resemble a glaze.
- In a large mixing bowl add the bacon-onion mixture, baked beans and chopped dried apples, stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide this mixture among 5, 4 inch half hotel pans and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes covered and 30 additional minutes uncovered. Reserve hot for service.
