Stir in dried mustard, ground ginger, and tomato paste. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour in apple cider, water, and maple syrup, followed by molasses. Mix in drained pinto beans and rosemary stalk. Bring to a gentle boil.

Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes until the top thickens and caramelizes.
Stir in apple cider vinegar and let sit for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
