When the holidays roll around, I'd rather spend time with family and friends than be stuck in the kitchen. I learned how to make Canadian bacon like this because it's such an easy-to-fix recipe. No one can resist Canadian bacon and apples coated with a brown sugar glaze. —Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large red apple, unpeeled
  • 1 large green apple, unpeeled
  • 1 pound sliced Canadian bacon

Directions

  1. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, mix brown sugar, lemon juice and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Cut each apple into 16 wedges; add to the brown sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat 5-7 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove apples to a platter with a slotted spoon; keep warm.
  2. Add bacon to skillet; cook over medium heat, turning once, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to platter. Pour remaining brown sugar mixture over the apples and bacon.
