Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). This is the perfect temperature for slow-cooking the beans to a thick and delicious finish.
Sauté the diced sweet onion in a large, oven-safe skillet with olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
Mix in the dried mustard, ground ginger, and tomato paste; cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add apple cider, water, maple syrup, molasses, rinsed pinto beans, and the rosemary stalk to the skillet. Bring everything to a gentle boil.
Cover the skillet with a lid and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Uncover the skillet and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the beans are thick and caramelized.
Stir in apple cider vinegar and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
