Apple Pie Jalapeño Poppers Recipe
This is a Jalapeño Poppers Lovers' Recipe. I'm not sure I would take it to a party - Most people would probably be freaked out by the combination of sweet apple pie and hot peppers. But since you are reading this now - You'll probably like it.
Ingredients (See Box Above, "IMPORTANT - About Our Recipes" for Information about Quantities)
- Jalapeño Peppers
- Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
- Cream Cheese softened
- 1 can Apple Pie Filling
- Graham Crackers crumbled
- Cinnamon Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the jalapeños into a boat cut. (Click the link above to see how to do a Boat Cut.)
- Sprinkle insides of cut jalapeños lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer your finished jalapeños to be more raw and crunchy.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
- Add cream cheese to each jalapeño to cover the bottom, leaving a concave "well" to place other ingredients. (Click the link above to see pictures of this step, if the instructions are unclear to you.) Set jalapeños aside.
- Top with a nice portion of apple pie filling.
- Top this with a spoonful of graham cracker crumbs.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Wrap with a bacon slice. I found that using only 1/2 slice of bacon tasted best. It let more of the apple taste come through.
- Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar and/or more of the cinnamon sugar.
- Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet and place back in oven.
- Cook, watching closely, until cream cheese is hot and bubbling and bacon is done, about 15 - 20 minutes. Check to make sure jalapeños and bacon are done to your liking. If not, place back in oven for more time.
- Remove from oven when done and enjoy hot.
