Apple Maple Breakfast Sausage #appleweek

This post is sponsored in conjunction with AppleWeek . I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the AppleWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

I’ve already chronicled (complained about?) how crazy our summer was so I’m not going to rehash it again, but suffice it to say we’ve really been enjoying our un-busy fall weekends so far. It’s been a lot of family time and catching up on non-urgent things we enjoy.

It also means we’ve had time for some leisurely breakfasts – a real novelty.

Mark usually takes the helm and makes big batches of pancakes or eggs for everyone. When I saw The Spice House had a special seasoning blend for breakfast sausage, I knew exactly what I wanted to try making.

The additional of apple and maple syrup make this sausage perfect for your fall breakfast table. Yes, it’s a bit of effort to make it yourself, but I promise it’s so worth it. This is hands-down the best breakfast sausage I’ve ever had.

Apple Maple Breakfast Sausage
(a Kate’s Recipe Box original)
Makes about 18 sausages

3/4 lb. ground beef
3/4 lb. ground pork
1/3 cup finely diced onion
1/3 cup shredded apple
2 Tbsp. maple syrup

In a large bowl, mix everything together.

Spread out the mixture to 1/2″ thickness and cut into patties using  biscuit cutter. Or, divide the mixture into golf ball-sized portions and shape them into patties.

Cook in a skillet over medium-high until cooked through, flipping over halfway.

Serve immediately, or refrigerate or freeze. These can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
