3/4 cup yellow cornmeal

  • Arrange sausages in rows across the prepared pan.
  • Insert the apple slices, round side down, between the sausages, wedging them in tightly.
  • Pour over juices from the skillet (the pan can be covered and refrigerated overnight at this point, if desired).
  • Bring to room temperature before proceeding.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • To make cornbread, stir together the flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is a popular choice for this recipe, but you can use any type of sausage you like. Just be sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread: The cornbread should be cooked through, but it should still be moist. If you overcook it, it will be dry and crumbly.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will give your casserole a different flavor. For a sweet and tart casserole, use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. For a more savory casserole, use a mix of Braeburn and Fuji apples.
  • Add some spices: A little bit of spice can really enhance the flavor of this casserole. Try adding a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to the batter.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This casserole is delicious on its own, but it's even better with your favorite toppings. Try serving it with sour cream, applesauce, or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Sausage apple cornbread bake is a simple and delicious casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
