How to Make Apple Sausage Quiche

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Roll out 1 (9-inch) pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch quiche dish. Trim and crimp the edges.
3. Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry crust with a fork.
4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
5. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.
6. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced) and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened (about 5-7 minutes).
7. Remove the apple and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
8. In the same skillet, cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
9. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
10. Add the cooled apple and onion mixture and cooked sausage to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
11. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
12. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
13. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
14. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the cheese is melted and golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
15. Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
