SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING CASSEROLE
You may use fresh sliced mushrooms that have been sauteed in butter in place of canned. If you are planning to serve more than 8 people then prepare two separate recipes and bake in two dishes --- I use all of a 400 gram French bread that amount works perfectly for this recipe --- add in chopped cooked carrots or peas to the stuffing mixture if desired, I have even added in cooked chopped bacon along with the sausage! this is a fantastic stuffing casserole!

Steps:
- 1. Spread cubed bread in a single layer on 2 sheet pans and bake in a 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Cool slightly then transfer bread into a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla.
- 3. Sprinkle the raisins, dried apples, chopped apple and the sausage over the bread. Now pour the egg mixture over the bread. With a spoon, gently push the bread down until it is soaked.
- 4. You can bake it now or cover with foil and refrigerate overnight to bake in the morning.
- 5. If you are baking it in the morning leave the casserole at room temperature while the oven preheats. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F, for 35 - 45 minutes just until the center is set.
- 6. While the french toast is baking, prepare the cinnamon syrup. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan. Combine the water and corn starch in a measuring cup then pour into the pan.
- 7. Cook over medium heat and bring to a rolling boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract and butter. It will be the consistency of syrup.
- 8. When the french toast is out of the oven drizzle some syrup over it and serve the rest on the side. By now everyone has smelled it cooking and they will be ready to eat! Serve hot.
SAUSAGE, LEEK AND APPLE CASSEROLE
Since (wisely) investing in a slow cooker / crock pot earlier this year, this casserole has hardly been off the menu. I like to use top quality organic sausages (Duchy chipolatas are my fave) but my other half prefers good old Walls, so I throw in both types to suit both tastes. Serves up great with some mash and steamed greens.

Steps:
- Cut the bacon into slices and brown it in a pan for a few minutes with the sausages. You can use cooking spray if you like but the bacon usually makes enough fat of it's own to help the sausages along.
- While the meat is browning, cut the mushrooms in half, cube the apple, slice the leek and cut the carrot into batons.
- When the meat is done, put it to one side in the crock pot / casserole dish along with the mushrooms and apple. Add the remaining veg (leek and carrot) to the pan to soften a little.
- After a couple of minutes, sprinkle the flour over the veg and mix through (the flour thickens the sauce, but if you prefer a more watery gravy then you can omit this step).
- Add the cider to the pan - it will bubble up to begin with but don't worry about it. Turn up the heat and cook for a couple of minutes to burn the alcohol off (I sniff-test it and cook until it stops smelling boozy).
- Transfer all the ingredients in the pan to the crock pot / casserole dish (cider and all).
- Now this is where you have to use your judgement a bit! I find 300ml water is usually about right to top up my crock pot, but you may find you need a bit more/less depending on the exact amount of ingredients you have used (ie. size of sausages, carrot, etc.). So as not to waste any of the stock cube, I crumble it into the crock pot without dissolving it in water first and then add as much water as is needed to JUST cover all the ingredients.
- CROCKPOT: Cook on Low for 8-9hrs or Medium for around 5hrs.
- OVEN: I've never actually made this in the oven but have no doubt it would work just as well. I would imagine that, if you cover the casserole dish and cook it at around 150 degrees it should be done in a couple of hours.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Try tart Granny Smith apples, sweet Honeycrisp apples, or a mix of both.
- If you don't have cooked breakfast sausage, you can use raw sausage. Just be sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the casserole.
- Add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon to the casserole for a warm, autumnal flavor.
- Serve the casserole with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt for a creamy, tangy topping.
- Leftover casserole can be reheated in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Sausage and apple casserole is a hearty, comforting dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet apples, savory sausage, and warm spices, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
