Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 medium, peeled and finely diced Granny Smith apple
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, finely diced apple, chopped onion, fresh sage, fresh thyme, minced garlic, ground black pepper, salt, paprika, and ground nutmeg.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until the mixture is well combined and the apple and spices are evenly distributed throughout the pork.
Shape the mixture into small patties using your hands. You should be able to make about 8 medium-sized patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the patties, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned on the outside and fully cooked through in the center with no pink remaining.
If necessary, work in batches, transferring cooked patties to a plate and covering them to keep warm.
Serve the cooked apple pork sausages hot alongside your favorite low-carb side dishes or as part of a hearty breakfast.
