Apple Pork Breakfast Sausage

Making homemade breakfast sausage is easy and delicious.

Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day. I love mornings and love to start out the day with a great cup of coffee and a wonderful breakfast. This Apple Pork Breakfast Sausage makes breakfast even more amazing!

There are little bits of apple in every bite. The apple adds a sweet taste that goes perfectly with the pork and sage.

Making your own breakfast sausage isn’t hard. You can grind your own pork or purchase ground pork from your butcher. It’s best to mix this ahead of time and let all the flavors blend together. If I can, I mix it the night before. In the morning, I shape it into patties and cook.

This Apple Pork Breakfast Sausage recipe can easily be doubled to feed your hungry guests. In addition to this sausage recipe, I also make Breakfast Sausage.

• 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider

Instructions

Apples

2. Mash the apples with the back of a spoon. Leave a few chunks of apples.

3. Remove from pan and allow apple mixture to cool. 

Mix Sausage

1. In a bowl, add ground pork, salt, garlic powder, pepper, sage, red pepper flakes and maple syrup.

2. Mix all ingredients together with your hands. Add remaining apple cider and mix again.
