Sausage Apples

Here's a variation on the Baked Sausage Stuffed Apples I made last fall. You can find that recipe at the end of this post.

4 pork and beef breakfast sausages
1/2 small onion, minced
3 large baking apples
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp sage
salt and pepper to taste

Remove the sausage casings and break the meat up in a skillet.

Cut the tops off the apples and scoop out the middles using a small ice cream scoop or melon baller. Discard the core and chop up the apple. Add it to the meat along with the minced onion.

Add the seasonings and cook just until the meat is no longer pink. Stuff the hollowed out apples, place the tops back on and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.

I served them over cheddar mashed potatoes, drizzled with the pan juices from the apples.
