Are there really apples in this sausage?

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 another  Breakfast Sausage without apples.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup apple cider
  • ¾ cup apples (diced)
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground sage
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider

Instructions
 

Apples

  • Put ½ cup apple cider and diced apples in a saute pan. Cook over medium heat until cider has been reduced and apples are soft.
  • Mash the apples with the back of a spoon. Leave a few chunks of apples.
  • Remove from pan and allow apple mixture to cool. 

Mix Sausage

  • In a bowl, add ground pork, salt, garlic powder, pepper, sage, red pepper flakes and maple syrup along with apple mixture.
  • Mix all ingredients together with your hands. Add remaining apple cider and mix again. 
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 
  • Form into patties and cook over medium-low heat until cooked through. Keep an eye on the patties so they don't burn. The apple cider and syrup can burn quickly if not watched.

    apple overcooked before the vinegar reduced. made the patties too wet even without added vinegar. I added some bread crumbs to absorb some liquid. I'd suggest peeling the apples and starting the vinegar before adding the apples. Tasted good though.

      Hi Bill,
      Just a clarification - this recipe calls for apple cider - not apple cider vinegar. No vinegar in this recipe. I'm glad you thought it still tasted good.
      Thanks!

      Hi Jackie,
      You'll add the apple mixture when adding the pork and other ingredients. I'm adjusting the instructions so that step is clearer.
      Thanks!
      Kathy 🙂
