Best 6 Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples Recipes

SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, saute the sausage until no longer pink. Remove the sausage (leave in the fat), and set aside. To the pan, add the onion, celery, and apple and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the apple is no longer crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional couple of minutes. Remove from the heat, stir the sausage back in and set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse the bread with the sage, rosemary, and thyme into coarse crumbs.
• Heat the butter in a medium saute pan and cook the crumbs over medium-high heat until coated with butter and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes (be careful not to burn). Mix the breadcrumbs into the sausage mixture.
• Prepare the roast as if making a jellyroll. Place the roast with the short side toward you, and fat facing down toward the counter or cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the roast open at about 1/2-inch from the bottom of the roast (parallel to the cutting board), being careful not to cut all the way through. Continue cutting, unrolling the roast as you work until you have a large, thin piece of meat. Place the rolled out piece of meat between 2 sheets of waxed or parchment paper, and lightly pound with meat mallet to increase the meat surface area by 10 to 20 percent. Be careful not to pound through the meat. Salt and pepper the pork and top with the filling, spreading evenly across the pork, leaving a 1-inch margin around the perimeter.
• Starting with the short side, roll up tightly jellyroll style, and secure the roast with kitchen twine.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add oil. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Place in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and add the wine in the bottom of the pan (to keep the juices from burning), and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature hits 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest for a full 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook sausage and onion until sausage is not longer pink and onion is tender; drain and cool slightly. Core apples; cut in half horizontally. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. In a bowl, combine egg and brown sugar; stir in sausage mixture. Spoon into the apples. Cover and bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes more or until apples are tender. Serve with syrup.

SAUSAGE AND SAGE APPLE-STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the sausage. Saute the meat until browned but still a little pink, about 5 minutes. Add the shallot and continue to cook until the sausage is fully cooked, another 5 minutes. Off the heat, deglaze with the calvados and scrape up any bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the raisins, pistachios and sage. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool in a bowl.
• Halve the apples from stem to bottom and core. Carefully hollow them out using a melon baller, reserving the apple "balls." Chop up the apple "balls" (you should have about 3/4 cup) and add to the sausage mixture. Stuff each hollowed-out apple half with some of the sausage mixture.
• Pour the vinegar into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and add the stuffed apples skin-side down. Bake until the apples are just soft, about 25 minutes. Top each apple with a slice of cheese and continue to bake until melted, another 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Whisk together Egg Beaters and Reddi-wip in large shallow dish; set aside.
• Heat sausage in microwave according to package directions. Meanwhile, spread syrup evenly over bread. Top each of 4 bread slices with 1/4 of the apple and 2 sausage patties. Top with remaining 4 bread slices, syrup-side down, to make sandwiches.
• Melt 1 tablespoon Parkay in 12-inch nonstick skillet or large griddle over medium heat. Carefully dip 2 sandwiches, 1 at a time, in Egg Beaters mixture, coating both sides. Place in skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining Parkay, Egg Beaters mixture and sandwiches. Cut each in half to serve. Top with additional syrup, if desired.

SAVOURY BAKED STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375°F.
• Peel, core and chop 1 apple into 1/3-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Cut one-fourth off the top of the remaining apples and discard the tops. Using a melon baller or a spoon, hollow out the apples, leaving 1/3 inch of the flesh on the inside. Set aside.
• In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a large bowl.
• In the same pan, combine the celery, onion and chopped apple and sauté until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the celery mixture, the thyme, sage, parsley and bread cubes to the bowl with the sausage, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Spoon the stuffing into the apples, packing it lightly. Arrange the apples in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the apples are tender and the stuffing is golden on top, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve immediately.
