How to Make Sausage Balls With Apples And Dried Cranberries

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 24-count mini-muffin tins with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked sausage, diced apples, cranberries, cheddar cheese, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  4. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, fill each mini-muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let cool slightly in the muffin tins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. These sausage balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
