There are many things to love about the holiday season, but coming together to enjoy a meal with loved ones tops the list. Keep everyone happy and in good spirits while waiting for the main course with a savory appetizer: bacon-wrapped apples.
Why bacon-wrapped apples? For starters, they are delicious! Juicy, sweet Honeycrisp apples are wrapped in salty bacon and drizzled with hot honey. Is your mouth watering yet? This recipe might just be three ingredients but the flavors are complex and indulgent, just like all good holiday recipes!
Many appetizers boasting such rich flavors require lots of ingredients and a lot of your time in the kitchen. But not this one! With just ten minutes of prep time and thirty minutes of cooking time, you can have enough to serve up to ten guests.
Crunch Pak apple slices are the secret ingredient to keeping the prep time down. Fresh from the orchard, these apples come washed, sliced, and ready-to-eat. No need to toil in the kitchen trying to uniformly cut up apples when Crunch Pak has done the hard work for you.
Whether you are hosting or bringing a dish, you know how important it is to have quick go-to recipes on busy holidays. This leaves more time for fellowship with family and friends. Save this recipe in your recipe box (or pin it here) and pull it out all season long. Your friends and family will certainly appreciate it!

Enjoyed these as is. Has anyone tried this with Granny Smith or Macintosh apples? Since the apples aren’t peeled, cutting them with an apple slicer won’t add much time. Going to try them with alternate apples. Also, will par cook the bacon a bit in the microwave, hubby hates raw bacon. If they’re a hit, will make again with a small piece of Brie wrapped with the apple. Will let you know how they turn outback. Thanks for the inspiration!
