Baked beans are a staple barbecue side dish, but these Coke Apple Pork Baked Beans are in a class all their own. Put your leftover smoked pork to good use, combining it with sausage, bacon, Coca Cola, apple pie filling and a few other ingredients – all mixed into a pan of baked beans. Sure, you've probably never added apples and Coke to baked beans before, but don't knock it until you try it. Like pineapple on pizza, it just works.
