Bacon Apple Pie Cheesburger Recipe Suggestions

I would think you'd want a sweeter flavor not tart. In that case a honeycrisp or pink lady would be a better choice. A granny might end up overwhelming the rest of the flavors. 

Not a chef ... I'd get one of each and cut the burgers in half and make it a trial party. Looking forward to the results. 

The apple pie flavor doesn’t sound appealing to me on a bacon cheeseburger, but grilling the burger over applewood makes for a delicious burger patty!  Just have to cover the patty with a domed lid to keep the smoke on it. Great for steaks and chicken too. 

We make burgers at least twice a week. We always use a good toasted bun, but not always the same bun.  A couple of my simple favorites. 

Spicy brown mustard, pepper jack cheese, dill pickles. 

Pimento cheese, bacon, mayonnaise, tomato 
 

Oh I didn’t mean to make it sound like applewood grilling made it taste like apples. I just prefer the applewood smoke flavor to other woods like hickory, etc. Cherrywood is good for a change of pace as well. 

The apple pie flavor doesn’t sound great to me on a burger, but it might turn out well I suppose. I remember trying the ‘Hawaiian’ burger at places several years ago where they added ham and pineapple on top of the beef patty. It wasn’t bad as something different, and probably quite a bit better than I had initially thought it would be. But a sweet hamburger still probably wouldn’t be my first choice if I had my pick. 

Good luck and hope it turns out well! 

We have spiced apples all the time as a side dish.  Maybe you should start there and work your way backwards.  Make your burger and then put some spiced apples on it and see how it goes.  

To add, maybe try slicing a Honeycrisp or Cosmic Crisp apple horizontally into rings. Try to get about 3/8” to 1/2” rings if possible. Leave the peel on so that it stays together better on the grill but obviously remove the core portion.  Coat both sides with sugar or a cinnamon sugar mixture (apple pies have a lot more sugar added than most people might think). Grill the rings for about a minute or two on each side on a medium heat just to lightly soften the texture and caramelize the sugar. One or two rings per burger should add a pretty good apple taste to it fairly well. 

Let us know how it turns out. 

Pimento, bacon, tomato, & mayo

Used to eat peanut butter and bacon sandwiches when I was a kid. 

I remember there was even a store bought peanut butter that had bacon in it.

I'd maybe try grilling vertical thin apple slices, think like a tomato slice. beside the patty, add some smoked paprika to it or something. It will bring out the sweetness and cut down the bitterness.
