How to Make Maple Cream Cheese Sausage Puffs

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of Jimmy Dean Maple Pork Sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced, to the skillet.
  3. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the apples are softened.
  4. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  6. Transfer the sausage and apple mixture to a medium bowl.
  7. Stir in 4 ounces (1/2 package) of softened cream cheese until well combined.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Separate 1 (8 ounce) can of refrigerated crescent roll dough into 8 triangles.
  10. Place about 1 tablespoon of the sausage filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
  11. Roll up the dough from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling.
  12. Gently pinch the edges to seal.
  13. Place the puffs onto a baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
