Instructions

  1. Begin by placing the carrots in a large saucepan, ensuring they are fully covered with water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, then cook the carrots uncovered for approximately 4 minutes until slightly tender.
  3. Stir in the beans, returning the mixture to a boil, and continue cooking for an additional 5 to 6 minutes or until both the beans and carrots are tender.
  4. Once cooked, drain the mixture and set aside.
  5. In a separate large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it reaches a crisp texture. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  6. Utilize the remaining bacon drippings in the skillet to sauté the onions until they become tender.
  7. Incorporate the tart apples, cider vinegar, sugar, and salt into the skillet, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
  8. Cover the skillet and allow the mixture to cook for about 2 minutes or until the apples are tender.
  9. Finally, stir in the previously drained bean and carrot mixture, heating everything through before serving.
  10. To finish, crumble the crispy bacon over the top and enjoy your sweet-sour beans and carrots!
