KTVB Kitchen: How to make bacon-wrapped cinnamon sugar apples and spicy cranberry sauce

Chef Mac from Pat Mac's Catering shows how to make a holiday appetizer.

BOISE, Idaho — Bacon-wrapped apple Ingredients: 

1 pound of bacon

2 large apples cut into cubes

cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

toothpicks for bacon and apples

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Lay bacon on cutting board and roll apple up. Cut off remaining bacon, a single layer of bacon, and use a toothpick to secure bacon to the apple.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over bacon wrapped apple or roll it in the mix to coat it. Place bacon wrapped apples on a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

Bake wraps for 10 minutes each side at 400 degrees.

Chill for an hour before serving.

Spicy cranberry sauce ingredients:

3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1 large shallot, finely chopped

2 jalapeños, seeds removed from 1 chili, both chilies very thinly sliced

1 lb. fresh cranberries

⅔ cup honey

½ tsp. kosher salt

2 tsp. finely grated lime zest

2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Directions:

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallot and jalapeños, stirring often until shallot is starting to turn golden, about 4 minutes. 

Add cranberries, honey, and salt and increase heat to medium-high.

Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until cranberries burst, juices are syrupy, and pan is visible when a wooden spoon is dragged across the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in lime zest and juice; let cool for an hour before serving.

Plate the apple wraps around the bowl of spicy cranberry sauce so your guest can dip the wraps.

Enjoy!
