An easy and delicious recipe for Sweet Italian or Breakfast sausage for breakfast or dinner! It requires only a few minutes in the kitchen, and everyone you serve it to will remember it! It’s a terrific pot luck dish on its own and also great served with winter squash mashed with butter and herbes de Provence or with steamed broccoli tossed with walnuts.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
Heat the olive oil in a flameproof casserole over medium heat. Lightly brown the sausages, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat. Cut sausages into bite sized pieces. Return to the casserole or pan you have browned the sausages in or transfer sausage and juices to a baking dish. Add the apples. Drizzle the maple syrup on the top, cover, and roast for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the apples can be pierced easily with a fork.
Serve in a shallow bowl with the apples and pan sauce spooned on top.
