For excellent maple syrup baked beans, vegetarian style, here is my Dad's 'secret' recipe.
Shhhh, don't tell him I've printed it here.  ((-;

Cover beans (Great Northern white beans) in water to 1inch above - let stand overnight.
Using same water, boil and reduce to simmer for 1 hr. Drain water and save.
Put in baking dish:
beans, onion, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup chili sauce, 2tbsps molasses, 2 tsp dry mustard (or regular), add cooking liquid to cover.
Stir and bake at 300 deg for 3 hours.
Stir occasionally and add liquid to keep covered.
Uncover and top with cut up apple sections and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover and bake for 1 hour longer.

Delicious!!
