Get ready to indulge in the most epic breakfast extravaganza of your life – Apple Sausage Gravy Dumplings!
Imagine a world where savory sausage, sweet apples, and fluffy dumplings come together in perfect harmony. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, today we’re making that dream a reality!
First, let’s start with the sausage. We’re talking about a pound of pork sausage, cooked to perfection in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spatula until it’s browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Then, add in some diced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Now it’s time to add in the magic ingredients – butter, flour, and diced apples. Cook for a minute or so, until the apples are tender. 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, or until the gravy has thickened to your liking.
While the gravy is cooking, let’s make the dumpling batter. In a bowl, whisk together an egg, apple cider, creme fraiche, thyme, green onions, salt, and baking powder. Add in some flour and whisk until it’s just combined. Don’t overmix!
Now it’s time to bring everything together. Stir the gravy and add in some freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Then, transfer generous spoonfuls of the dumpling batter on top of the simmering gravy. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed up and floating on top.
And that’s it! Serve the dumplings hot, topped with additional green onions if desired. It’s the perfect breakfast or brunch dish to impress your friends and family.
So go ahead, indulge in this epic breakfast extravaganza and make your taste buds dance with joy!
