Homemade Apple Sausage Recipes

HOMEMADE PORK AND APPLE SAUSAGES

Steps:

• First make the breadcrumbs in a food processor, so they are fine.
• Mince (or grind) the pork, then add the onion to the grinder, and finally the apple (peeled and cored). Add all the herbs and nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
• Fill your sausage filler (either machine or hand operated one) and put the skins over the end of the nozzle.
• Fill slowly so that the skins do not burst, and twist the finished sausages into the required size.
• Since nothing has been pre-frozen, these will freeze well.
• Various adaptations can be made, by adding either sun-dried tomato puree, or garlic puree for instance.
• Prior to cooking, pierce the skins to prevent bursting.

SAUSAGES WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet or wide, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, season generously with salt and pepper and stir to coat with butter. Add bay leaf, cloves, allspice, caraway and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to keep onions from browning too quickly.
• Remove onions from pan and arrange on a platter. Put 2 more tablespoons butter in pan, and add apples. Raise heat to medium-high and brown apples on both sides, using a spatula to turn them, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove apples and arrange them on top of onions. Keep platter warm in a low oven.
• Keep stovetop heat at medium and place sausages in pan in one layer. Prick each sausage in several places with the tip of a sharp paring knife or toothpick.
• Let sausages brown slowly on one side (check their progress by turning them over with a fork or tongs) for 6 to 8 minutes. Lower the temperature if they're browning too quickly.
• Turn sausages over, and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Let water evaporate completely, then continue to let sausages brown slowly for about 5 more minutes. (Cooking sausages at too high a temperature will cause them to burst; err on the cooler side.)
• To serve, place cooked sausages in the center of the onion-apple mixture on platter. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

APPLE SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Place links in a cold frying pan (preferrably cast iron) with enough water to cover the bottom.
• Cook over med heat until water evaporated and sausages start to brown.
• Add apples and brown sugar to you taste.
• Finish cooking sausages and stirring apples in the sausage drippings until apples are tender.

SAGE, SAUSAGE AND APPLE DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it loses most of its pink color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and pan drippings to the stuffing cubes. Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Add the onion, apple, celery, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the vegetables get soft, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and parsley and bring to a boil.
• Pour the vegetable mixture over the stuffing cubes and toss until evenly moistened. Mix in the walnuts and eggs. Loosely pack the dressing in the prepared pan and cook uncovered until the top forms a crust, about 40 minutes. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of turkey pan drippings or melted butter over the top. Cook until the top is crisp and golden, about 20 minutes more.

HOMEMADE TURKEY & APPLE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine bread crumbs, apple, sage, black pepper, salt, paprika, ground red pepper and nutmeg.
• Add turkey and mix well.
• Shape mixture into 4 patties (1/2 inch thick).
• Spray the unheated rack of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Arrange patties on rack.
• Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat about 10 minutes or until no longer pink; turn once.
• (Or spray an unheated large skillet with nonstick spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink).

GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND APPLES

Steps:

• Prepare grill for high heat.
• With a fork, poke sausages several times. Place in a pot, cover with water, and simmer over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Warm butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in apples, vinegar, and brown sugar; cook, stirring gently, until caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place sausages on grill (or under broiler), and cook until well browned. Serve on a mound of caramelized apples and onions.

VEGETARIAN BREAKFAST APPLE SAUSAGES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
• Add the apples, mushrooms, fennel seeds, rosemary, sage, maple syrup, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes, until the mixture is tender and the liquid released from the mushrooms has evaporated. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Add the cannellini beans and chickpeas to a food processor and pulse into a smooth paste.
• Transfer the bean paste to a large bowl and add the apple/mushroom mixture and vital wheat gluten. Mix with a spatula and then your hands until well combined.
• Form the sausage mixture into a loaf, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Unwrap the chilled sausage mixture and divide into 10-12 equal pieces, depending on what size sausages you would like.
• Roll a piece between your palms into a sausage shape. Place in the center of a large sheet of plastic wrap and roll the plastic over it so the sausage is completely encased. Twist the ends of the wrap and knot them together tightly. Repeat for each sausage.
• Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Plunge the wrapped sausages in the water and simmer for 45-50 minutes, until the sausages are firm.
• Remove from the water and let cool for about 5 minutes, then unwrap.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the sausages for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Serve immediately or keep wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Enjoy!
