This is not an original recipe, I ripped it off of one of the Greats. I have never made a recipe from Emeril before to my recollection, but I’d definitely try more from him based upon my results with this one. I really do not understand our culture of famous cooks. There are some famous food bloggers whose recipes I’ve attempted multiple times with zero success. I’m left scratching my head—how did it get to be that people hang on every word? I want to ask, “Have you TRIED any of those recipes?”
Whenever a baked apple is part of the main course, invite me over! This is an easy recipe I have made many times over—I use the term “recipe” loosely. Think of this sausage and apples recipe as more as a “guide.”
For a recipe like this one, you will need the handy-dandy tool like this one:
Ingredients:
8 apples, cored and halved into the top and bottom
1 lb pork sausage
2 tbs ground sage
½ cup maple syrup (approximately, to taste)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Olive oil
–Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-Place apples cut-side-up in a greased baking pan.
-In separate bowl, mix the sausage, sage, maple syrup, and walnuts.
-Stuff the apples with the sausage mixture.
-Drizzle olive oil on top.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes.
As for side dishes that you could serve here to along with the sausage and apples, I like to either include fried red cabbage, sliced potatoes or carrots.
These sausage stuffed apples are a hit with the children, so give them a try and let me know what you thought of them by leaving a comment at the bottom.
