Cinnamon Swirl Smash Burgers

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your griddle over high heat and lightly oil the surface.

2. 2

   Lay the bacon rashers onto the hot griddle. When ready to flip, sprinkle the cooked side with a little brown sugar. Flip and continue cooking, adding more sugar as needed to caramelise.

3. 3

   Place the beef balls onto the griddle. After about 2 minutes, flip and firmly smash them down. Season generously with salt.

4. 4

   Once a deep crust has formed on the underside, flip the patties again and season the second side with salt.

5. 5

   Top each patty with a slice of apple and a slice of cheese. Cover with a Blackstone cloche to melt the cheese.

6. 6

   Place the cinnamon swirls cut-side down onto the hot griddle. Gently press them to caramelise the sugars and icing.

7. 7

   When everything is cooked, start building your burgers: cinnamon swirl base, cheesy apple-topped smash patties, caramelised bacon, and the cinnamon swirl lid.

8. 8

   Finish with a light drizzle of maple syrup. Be good, do good, and eat good.
