Everyone loves the spicy-sweet of these burgers.Maple syrup(especially Vermont Maple Syrup)adds a special sweetness to the ketchup and the apple slices.The grilled,glazed apple goes well with the sharp cheese,as well.The pickled onion off-setts the sweet and overall this burger is a delicious package!
