These burgers are great on the BBQ but also delicious when cooked in the oven. They are one of those all year round meals. They can be eaten in the summer and the winter too. We cooked these on the BBQ a few weeks ago when the weather was slightly warmer than it is at the moment.
Now that the weather is cooler I think we will be cooking this dinner inside until the summer next year. We had a glorious six months of warm weather in the UK. I hate to admit it I’m actually looking forward to the rain, just a little bit. Winter food has always been a favourite of mine. Sadly, it makes me happy to know I can cook these burgers in the oven now. Below is a video and recipe for you.

- Continue with this process until the juices are clear.

Pork and Apple Burgers are so yummy and my little family really enjoyed them on one of the last warm days of the year. For this recipe I used apple puree instead of an egg. If you wanted to include an egg then please do. The burgers are so easy to make and ready for the BBQ in under ten minutes. If you wanted to make them the day before or in the morning then this is always an option too. However you decide to eat these burgers, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
