Get ready to indulge in the most epic breakfast extravaganza of your life – Apple Sausage Gravy Dumplings!
Imagine a dish that combines the savory goodness of sausage, the sweetness of apples, and the fluffiness of dumplings, all in one delicious package. Sounds too good to be true? Trust me, it’s not!
First, let’s start with the sausage. You’ll want to heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add in your sausage. Cook and stir until it’s browned and crumbly, breaking up any chunks with a spatula as you go. This should take about 5 minutes.
Next, reduce the heat to medium and add in some diced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions start to turn soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. This should take another 5 minutes or so.
Now it’s time to add in some butter and flour. Stir until the butter is melted and the flour is fully incorporated, then cook for another 2 minutes.
Add in some diced apple and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Then, pour in some chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the gravy is cooking, it’s time to make the dumpling batter. In a bowl, whisk together some egg, apple cider, creme fraiche, thyme, green onions, salt, and baking powder. Add in some flour and whisk until it’s just combined.
Once the gravy has finished cooking, stir in some freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Now it’s time to add the dumplings to the gravy. Use a spoon to drop generous, rounded teaspoons of the dumpling batter onto the surface of the gravy. Cover the skillet and let the dumplings cook for 5-6 minutes, or until they’re puffed up and floating on top.
And that’s it! Serve the dumplings hot, topped with additional green onions if desired. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy weekend morning.
So go ahead, indulge in this delicious breakfast extravaganza and make your taste buds do the happy dance!
