Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) pre-cooked chicken apple sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 2 medium (300g) Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced into wedges
  • 1 medium (110g) yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter
  • ½ tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp (1g) salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (5ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15g) fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the sliced chicken apple sausage in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3–4 minutes until edges are deep mahogany, then flip and sear for another 3 minutes. Remove sausages and set aside.
  2. Lower heat to medium and add the butter to the same pan. Once foaming, add sliced onions and apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but hold their shape and onions are translucent.
  3. Return the seared sausages to the pan. Drizzle with maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Toss for 60 seconds until the glaze is bubbly and coats the ingredients. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
