SMOKED SAUSAGE AND APPLE APPETIZERS
We have this often for an imprompto lunch, after it's cooked I pour it in a slow cooker to keep warm throughout the afternoon so we can 'pick' at it. We think these are very good. Do not substitute for smoked sausage cocktail weiners, they are too overpowering.

SPICED APPLE SAUSAGE STUFFING
The bread is cooked like a savory French toast, giving you a stuffing base that's both crisp and custardy. You can call it stuffing or you can call it dressing, but whatever you call it, it's one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving dinner.

Steps:
- For the French toast batter: In a bowl, whisk buttermilk, heavy cream, eggs, and garam masala. Pour over bread cubes, toss, and let rest so the bread can absorb all of the liquid. For the stuffing: Peel, core, and evenly slice the apples. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over high heat; add the apples, turn the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. While the apples are cooking, core and thinly slice the fennel and onions so they are the same size. Season apples with a pinch of garam masala, a pinch of salt, then toss, remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet and add the fennel and onions, along with the tarragon and a pinch of salt. Cook until just tender, 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage and break it up. After a minute or two, flip to brown on the other side. Remove and set aside. Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and add half of the bread/French toast mixture in an even layer. Add a pinch of salt and continue cooking until the bread is brown and caramelized in parts; set the browned bread aside. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread/French toast mixture. Add all of the bread to a serving bowl along with the apples, fennel, onion, and sausage. Toss, then top with the tarragon and pistachios, and serve.
SMOKED SAUSAGE AND APPLES
This is a real easy way to fix smoked sausage. I do it in the microwave and usually serve it with a green veggie and corn bread.

Steps:
- Slice smoked sausage into 1 inch coins, and place in a microwavable bowl with a lid.
- Add apples and onions.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over all. Add water. Cover.
- Microwave on high for about 5 mins or till apples are tender. (I use my fresh vegetable button for hard veggies).
- May season with salt and pepper if care to. We normally don't.
- Note: If you do not have a bowl with lid that will go into microwave, you may use plastic wrap, just be sure to vent it, by folding in one corner of wrap to make a little hole.
Tips:
- For a sweeter stuffing, use sweeter apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Pink Lady. For a tarter stuffing, use Granny Smith or Braeburn apples.
- If you don't have smoked sausage, you can use regular sausage and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the stuffing mixture.
- For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the stuffing bites with melted butter before baking.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked sausage and stuffing mix. Just be sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
- These stuffing bites can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
Conclusion:
Smoked sausage and apple stuffing bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty and festive dish, give smoked sausage and apple stuffing bites a try.
