Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound package of maple pork sausage
1/4 cup real maple syrup + extra for topping
2 eggs
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 1/2 cups herb stuffing mix - dry, not cook. Make sure to get bread crumbs AND seasoning too!
2 large granny smith apples, diced
1 (17 ounce) package Puff Pastry sheets, thawed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400*F In a large bowl combine sausage, syrup, eggs, green onions, stuffing mix and apples. Mix well with spatula and or hands and set aside. I find hands work great for this! Roll out each pastry sheet to a 16 x 12 inch rectangle on a baking mat, parchment paper or nonstick foil. Place half of the sausage mixture down the center of one of the pastry sheets. Fold up each end of pastry sheet to cover edges at each end of sausage. Slice 1 inch slits down both sides of pastry then fold up strips on top of sausage, alternating sides like a braid. Transfer braid to a cookie sheet. Repeat the above steps for second pastry sheet and braid. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Drizzle with additional maple syrup and enjoy!
