Ingredients for Apple And Sausage Pie

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Sliced Apples
  • Mild Italian Sausage
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Lemon, Zest Of
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • Double Crust Pie Crust

How to Make Apple And Sausage Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Prepare your favorite pie crust (or use 1 box of refrigerated pie crusts).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the filling and dot with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
