Apple Sausage Patties

This fall, try this for your breakfast sausage. Instead of the traditional breakfast sandwich, you could put these patties between two slices of apples. Or serve one of the patties with a side salad for lunch. They could be made smaller and served as an appetizer on a skewer.

Apple Sausage Patties

3 Tablespoons apple, peeled and shredded

3/4 pound Italian sausage or breakfast sausage, casings removed

1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped

1 Tablespoon rice bran oil or vegetable oil

Combine apple, sausage, and sage together in a bowl and mix well; form into 4 patties.

Over medium heat, pour oil into a skillet, add patties and cook, turning, until cooked throughout.
