Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground pork
• 1 medium apple
• 1 small onion
• 2 teaspoons sage
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the apple using a box grater. Finely chop the onion.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated apple, sautéed onion, sage, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Step 4

Using your hands or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the ingredients until well combined, but do not overmix as it can make the sausage tough.

Step 5

Form the pork mixture into 2-inch patties or your desired shape.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Serve the sausages hot, enjoy them as part of a breakfast spread, or incorporate them into other dishes.
