CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLES



Cornbread Stuffing With Sausage and Apples image

This is the Thanksgiving stuffing that most of my family prefers. I got it from Food TV. It's a recipe from Cock N' Bull Restaurant, Peddler's Village, Lahaska, Pennsylvania. The first time I made it, my kid's asked.." you're putting apples in the stuffing?..Yuck" But they gobbled it down.. they never used to even like stuffing at all before this one. Then every year since then, they beg for "the stuffing with the apples in it" This year, I'm making two kinds of stuffing. Bev has a near duplicate of my Grandmas stuffing, #44692 which I love so much. So I'm making both this year. I'm posting this so it is easy for me to find closer to Bird Day! It's moist and tasty. I usually make it in my slow cooker, but it's meant for stuffing a bird.

Thanksgiving is all about family, friends, and the mouthwatering feast that we prepare to celebrate the occasion. One of the dishes that make Thanksgiving special is the stuffing. While traditional turkey stuffing is delicious, why not try something different this year? Apple sausage cornbread stuffing cups are a perfect twist to the classic stuffing and are sure to please your guests.

Ingredients

Before we start preparing the stuffing cups, let's list out the necessary ingredients:
  • 1 pound of Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 4 cups of cornbread stuffing mix
  • 2 cups of diced apples
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cups of chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon of dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Preparation

Now that we have our ingredients let's dive into preparing the stuffing cups. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind while making apple sausage cornbread stuffing cups:
1. Choose the right apples
When selecting apples for your stuffing cups, it's ideal to choose a crisp, firm, and tart apple such as Granny Smith. The tartness of the apples will help balance the flavor of the sweet sausage, and the crispness will add a pleasant texture to the stuffing cups.
2. Make homemade cornbread
You can either use store-bought cornbread or bake your own. However, making cornbread from scratch can take your stuffing cups to the next level. Homemade cornbread is richer and more flavorful than the pre-packaged ones. You can make the cornbread a day before you plan to make the stuffing cups so that it's easier to handle.
3. Toast the cornbread
Toasting the cornbread will not only add an extra layer of flavor but also prevent it from turning into mushy stuffing. Cut the cornbread into small cubes, spread the cubes out on a baking sheet, and bake in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until crispy and lightly golden.
4. Sauté the vegetables
Sautéing the onion, celery, and garlic in butter until soft and fragrant enhances the overall flavor of the stuffing cups. The combination of these aromatics is the foundation of flavor that makes the stuffing cups delicious.
5. Use Italian sausage
Italian sausage's unique blend of spices pairs perfectly with the apples and cornbread. The sausage meat offers more depth and texture than regular ground meat, complementing the sweet and savory flavors of the dish.
6. Mix everything together
Once all the ingredients are prepared, mix them in a large mixing bowl, starting with the cornbread stuffing mix, apples, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, eggs, chicken broth, and herbs. A trick to getting a consolidated mixture is to use your hands to mix everything together.
7. Use a muffin pan
To form the cups, we recommend using a muffin pan. Grease the pan and fill each cup with the mixture. Make sure to press the mixture down firmly to make the cups dense and compact.
8. Add the finishing touch
Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Once golden brown, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Use a knife to loosen the cups from the pan gently.

Conclusion

In conclusion, apple sausage cornbread stuffing cups have everything you need in one dish. The flavors are bold, savory, and comforting, the apples add a sweet and tangy balance, while the sausage and cornbread bring texture and richness. The holiday season is right around the corner, and it's time to start thinking about the feast that we all look forward to. Don't be afraid to switch things up this year and try out this delicious recipe for a memorable Thanksgiving celebration.
