Fried Apples and Sausage

Teresa Ambra
Fried Apples and Sausage is a fantastic breakfast entree. Sausage is formed into miniature balls and the apples make up their own syrup while frying. When it's all stirred together the dish is so mouthwatering and amazing you'll want more! Great for weekend, holiday or company breakfasts. Gluten free.

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet (Mine is 14")
  • 1 plastic spatula
  • 1 sharp paring knife to pare and slice apples
  • 1 serving dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound mild, bulk pork sausage formed into miniature balls
  • 2 to 3 tbsp. butter as needed
  • 4 medium Gala apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (brown sugar can also be used)

Instructions
 

  • Shape sausage into real tiny meatballs and fry in skillet until done.
  • Set aside and drain on paper towels.
  • Drain grease and clean out skillet.
  • Melt a few tablespoonfuls butter in the cleaned skillet.
  • Add apple slices and cook on higher heat to brown quickly on both sides.
  • Simmer, and turn heat to low.
  • Don’t turn afterwards or they will get too soft so they break up.
  • Sprinkle with granulated sugar (brown sugar is nice, too, since it will caramelize).
  • Add more butter if necessary and turn to coat the apples so it forms a syrup and apples are well-coated.
  • Once the apples are fork-tender, add sausage miniature balls.
  • Heat through; then serve.
  • If saving for the next day, layer sausage in oblong pan, then apple slices (like lasagna), and warm in microwave or oven until ready to serve.

Notes

NOTE: Once you add the sugar to the apples, it is best not to turn them any more because they become too delicate and will tear apart easily. Just allow them to cook in the syrup and move them around with a spatula every so often.
 
NOTE: If saving for the next day layer sausage in oblong pan, then apple slices (like lasagna), and warm in microwave or oven until ready to serve.
