Here’s how to make Angry Orchard Bacon Wrapped Apple Bites.

Angry Orchard Bacon Wrapped Apple Bites

Ingredients

• 1 large apple (honeycrisp, fuji or green), cut into 24 (1”x ¼”) pieces
• 24 pieces brie cheese, cut into (1”x ¼”) pieces
• ½ pound thick cut bacon, slices cut in half

Angry Glaze:

• 1 (12 fl. oz.) bottle Angry Orchard Unfiltered Cider
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
•  ¼ teaspoon nutmeg Pinch of salt

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400F
• Wrap apple and brie together with the bacon and secure with a toothpick.

For the Angry glaze:

• In a small sauce pan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, add all ingredients and reduce until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon- about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve until ready to use.

To serve:

• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp. Remove from oven, drizzle with the glaze and serve.

If you are looking to modify the recipe a little, changing the apple will change the flavor. A Fjii apple matches the flavor in the Angry Orchard flavor best. But, a green apple might have a crispier texture.

Also, if you prefer a little spice with your recipe, you could add a little spice to the glaze. Although a hot honey changes the recipe completely, a few extra spices with the cinnamon can add a little zip.
