Bacon wrapped appetizers are always, always a good idea. Everyone loves bacon, right? It’s just one of those things that happens to make food taste so good. These little appetizers are the perfect bites to add to a cocktail or holiday party. And they’re also good for munching on a football-watching Sunday afternoon. Give them a try!
Ingredients needed:
For the marinade:
apple juice or apple cider creamy peanut butter soy sauce ground cinnamon ground ginger
For the bundles:
4 whole pre-cooked smoked sausages 2 medium apples half-pound of bacon
How to make Bacon Wrapped Apple and Sausage Bundles:
Blend the marinade ingredients together in a blender. Slice the sausage and marinate the sausage in the apple-peanut butter marinade for about 4 hours. Then drain the sausages from the marinade (but keep the marinade). To assemble these bundles, wrap a piece of bacon around a piece of sausage and a slice of apple, and secure with a toothpick. Then dip the wrapped appetizer into the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
It’s best if the appetizers are placed onto a rack for broiling for two reasons.
The bacon grease has a chance to drip onto the foil below the rack. The bacon has a chance to get crispy all around because the heat can get to the bottom of the appetizer because it’s on a rack.
The result is a crispy, bacon-wrapped appetizer that you and your guests are sure to enjoy! The apple and sausage are the perfect pairing with bacon. And the marinade adds additional flavors that are welcome with this combination too.
If you like these bacon wrapped apple and sausage bundles, then you’re probably going to like my bacon wrapped tater tots and bacon wrapped water chestnuts too. And if you’re a bacon lover in general, bacon guacamole might be one to try!
