How to Make Apples Cheese Spoon Bread

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix, 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon dried sage, and a few grinds of black pepper.
4. Stir in the cooked onion mixture.
5. Pour the batter into a greased 2-quart square baking dish.
6. Bake for 25 minutes.
7. While the spoon bread bakes, peel and thinly slice 1 medium apple. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and brush it over the apple slices.
8. Arrange the apple slices in a pleasing pattern on top of the spoon bread.
9. Continue baking for 25-30 minutes, or until the spoon bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before serving.
11. Garnish with fresh sage leaves (optional) before serving.
