Chicken Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples is an easy fall meal your family will love. These filled dinner apples will disappear fast!

Chicken Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples

I love stuffing fruit and vegetables this time of year. Apples and squash are natural vessels for fillings. A firm baked apple holds it’s shape and adds a bit of sweetness and fall flavor to the dish.
Carve out the core and a bit more apple to form a cavity. Fill with the chicken sausage stuffing and bake uncovered for about an hour until the apple is soft but not mushy.
Precooked chicken sausage is a great time saver. Saute the celery and onions then crumble in the sausage. Add your broth, bread and seasonings and your filling is ready.

I’m a sucker for a versatile apple like these New Zealand variety. It’s a great eating apple. I also made pie with it and today’s Chicken Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples!

You can drizzle Chicken Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples with honey but using a sweeter apple works great!

Apple Fritters #AppleWeek

Apple Fritters serve chunks of juicy apples in fried batter drizzled with vanilla icing. A delicious treat any time of day!

I grew up eating apple fritters that my Mom made in a big pot of boiling oil on the back stove burner. She also made funnel cakes the same way.
Drizzle in the batter and watch it like a hawk.
No thermometers ever. Not even for human fevers at our house. Wrist to the forehead, check for glassy eyes and flushed cheeks. Pure old school.

I have to admit I’m more comfortable with my thermostat controls on my mini fryer. I can do it old school but sometimes technology wins.

Apple Fritters cut

Lightly fried and drizzled with icing is my favorite way to eat them. You can dust these with powdered sugar too!

Today’s featured sponsor of my post is Swiss Diamond Cookware. I love the versatility of a griddle pan. First thing I think of is breakfast. Eggs, pancakes and French Toast.
This pan also works great for burgers! Toasting buns are so easy.
Grilled vegetable slices cook up fast. Think no mess eggplant parmesan! Nice!
For today on #AppleWeek it’s Apple Pork Burgers. I made this version with apple sausage. An added apple boost.
If you can’t find apple sausage, country sausage or breakfast sausage works as well. Remove meat from the casing. Add the diced apple, green onion, seasoning and a touch of maple syrup. So good!

Apple Crisp Ebelskivers #AppleWeek

Posted on September 24, 2018 by Cindy Kerschner

Apple Crisp Ebelskivers

Apple Crisp Ebelskivers marry tender apple filled pancakes with a crunchy oat crisp topping. Drizzle with homemade apple syrup.

Welcome to day two of #AppleWeek! Our apple loving group of food bloggers have put together a week of fabulous recipes along with a generous giveaway from our sponsors!
Don’t miss out on entering via Rafflecopter at the bottom of the page! 🙂

My First recipe for #AppleWeek is a little Danish pancake ball known as an Ebelskiver. These filled pancake treats traditionally have cooked apples inside.

Ebelskivers are made in a unique pan specially designed to create the puffed balls. I received an Ebelskiver Pan from Nordic Ware to create a new version of these classic pancakes. You can learn more about this cool pan and how to buy one
here.
Ebelskiver pan

I chose to make a version of an apple crisp with an oat topping and apple pie filling. I added my homemade apple syrup for extra apple goodness.

You start by brushing the wells with a bit of butter and adding the oat crumb topping. I used Flahavan’s Oatmeal Ireland’s favorite Oatmeal. Taste the difference. Flahavan’s oats are grown and harvested locally in small batches to capture the rich delicious flavor that is original Irish Oatmeal.

Next, add batter then your filling and top with more batter. A gently press on the filling to submerge it a bit before adding more batter.
Ebelskivers batter
Small in size but mighty in taste, these pancakes cook very fast. After about 2 minutes or when bottom is golden brown it’s time to flip them.

That’s the fun part. I use a pair of skewers to quickly flip the balls. The second side cooks in about half the time as the first.
Serve these with the apple syrup, your favorite syrup or pancake topping.

Here’s the recipe for Apple Crisp Ebelskivers you can make at home.
