Drain the beans and place them in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches, cover loosely and bring to the boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes or until almost tender.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F and heat the olive oil in an 7 quart Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the onion, apple, savory, salt and pepper and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Kill the heat and set aside.
Drain the beans and add them to the Dutch oven, followed by the tomatoes,
Add bay leaves, tomatoes, molasses, mustard, Bay leaves and water. Stir, put the lid on and cook in the oven for about 6 hour, stirring from time to time, until the beans are super soft, have taken a beautiful dark brown color and the liquid has turned into a thick and luscious sauce.
Let the beans rest for about an hour before serving.
