Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 piece apple (medium, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and finely diced)
- 0.5 piece onion (small, finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple and onion, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is caramelized. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, ground black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well with your hands until fully incorporated.
Divide the sausage mixture into 8 equal portions (about 2 ounces each). Flatten each portion into a thin patty about 3-4 inches wide.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple-onion filling into the center of 4 patties. Place a second patty on top of each filled patty, then carefully pinch and seal the edges to encase the filling completely.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed sausage patties to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate lined with paper towels for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite breakfast sides, such as eggs or toast.
