Applesauce and Smoked Sausage Party Snack

What can be wrong with the combination of apples and smoked sausage? Why nothing, of course! Delectable, soul soothing, warming and satisfying. This is another of those recipes that I have been making for years and never get tired of it. Besides, even if I wanted to put this one on hiatus, it wouldn’t be allowed. I get requests for this bowl of yummyness every year at the Holidays and even during football season. So wonderful hot from the oven but I have been known to open the refrigerator and snitch a piece cold! This flavorful dish empties fast, so don’t worry about leftovers because there aren’t any. Pop it in the oven and do whatever you need for a while.

I have used a variety of smoked sausages in this dish and all are equally flavorful. It’s just a matter of personal preference. Smoked Polish Sausage, Smoked Beef Sausage like “Hillshire Farms.”  A smoked Hungarian Sausage would be great. Today I used a Cabanosi Sausage which is commonly found here. Similar to Kielbasa but no garlic.

If you’re looking for an easy, sweet-spicy snack that feeds a crowd and is guaranteed to please, well then….let’s build us a applesaucy-sausage bowl of delight! BTW….Sparky gives it 2 thumbs up or it wouldn’t be listed here!

Applesauce and Smoked Sausage Party Snack

Another Scrumpdiddlyishish tailgate, Holiday, Christmas, birthday or anytime party snack that only has 5 ingredients and you just might have them in your house. I bake off the sausage to remove extra fat as it adds a crispiness and brown color to it, but alternately, you can slice and boil the sausage for 5 minutes to remove the fat.
