As a Texan, guacamole is a staple in my diet. The simple, savory flavor pairs well with so much Texas cuisine that I keep it in my refrigerator at all times.

So last year, when the New York Times had the audacity to put peas in guac, there was an uproar on social media. One would think recipe inventors learned a lesson and decided to not touch the sanctity of guacamole ever again.

We were wrong.

EPIC FAIL: N.Y. Times gets major backlash for putting peas in guacamole

People Magazine has done it, but this time the offense seems to be worse.

The magazine reached out to the Food Network's "Ham on the Street" host George Duran to share his twisted take on guac.

"One of the secret ingredients I like to add to guacamole is a Granny Smith apples," Duran writes for People. "Dicing up the apple and mixing it into the guacamole gives it a nice, subtle sweetness that you'll crave."

What?

Guac isn't supposed to be sweet, though.

When you ask Google, "What is guacamole?" this is what you get:

"Gua-ca-mo-le, noun: a dish of mashed avocado mixed with chopped onion, tomatoes, chili peppers, and seasoning."

See. No mention of apples.

We aren't the only ones who noticed the grave mistake People Magazine has done with this recipe suggestion.

If it couldn't get any worse, Duran goes on to suggest we eat this version of guac with "apple crisps and other baked fruit crisps."

No thanks, cowboy. We'll stick to our salty, savory version down here in the South.
