How to Make Apple And Sausage Pie
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prepare your favorite pie crust (or use 1 box of refrigerated pie crusts).
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, zest of 1 lemon, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
- Arrange 4-5 cups thinly sliced apples in layers in the bottom pie crust. Top with 1 pound of sliced sausage (such as breakfast sausage or Italian sausage). Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the apples and sausage.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the filling and dot with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter.
- Carefully place the top crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (191°C) and bake for another 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your medieval culinary adventure! (Yields 8 servings)
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
