Sausage Apple Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large skillet, fry sausage until it is browned. Drain well. Cut the sausage into bite-size pieces.
• In a small casserole dish, combine sausage, brown sugar, applesauce, and onion.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Serve with toothpicks for easy nibbling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper and place 1 sheet of puff pastry on it.
• Cut the sheet of pastry into 9 equal squares, each about 3 by 3-inches.
• Brush each square with the egg and place 1 piece of sausage in the middle of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry inward to come together in the middle. Pinch the corners together in the center. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to bake.
• When ready to bake remove the plastic wrap from the trays and brush the pastry with the remaining egg-wash. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl mix the mustards together with the honey until well combined. Serve the sausage bites hot from the oven with a bowl of Hot Sweet Mustard on the side.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 12x10-inch rectangle. Cut into 3 (3-inch) strips.
• Divide the sausage into thirds. Shape each into a cylinder the same length as the pastry. Place 1 piece sausage on the long edge of each pastry rectangle. Roll up the pastry around the sausage and press the seams and pinch the edges to seal.
• Cut each roll into 12 (1-inch) slices, making 24 in all. Place the slices, cut-side down, onto a baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and the sausage is cooked through. Remove the pastries from the baking sheet and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
• Tip: You can substitute Italian sausage (casing removed) for the bulk pork sausage.
• Tip: To make ahead, place the unbaked slices onto a baking sheet. Cover and freeze until firm. Remove the frozen slices from the baking sheet and store in a gallon size resealable plastic bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. Bake the frozen slices on a baking sheet at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients; knead until well blended.
• Form into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until browned; turn after 10 minutes.
• Makes about 3 dozen.
