Sausage casserole recipe with apples

Hello! How are you doing all? Tonight the clock moves back and I'm quite looking forward to the long evenings. I find them nice, especially at the beginning of the winter time, around Halloween and Bonfire Night, when everything feels a bit spooky!

And what more to wish for than a comforting meal after being outside in the cold for a few hours?

This sausage casserole has got it all!

It's tasty, fragrant, hearty and really easy to make.

The main ingredient in this dish are sausages. I am using pork ones with apples, but plain pork, chicken or plant based sausages will work here too.

Root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots give this dish a hearty texture. Feel free to use any type of potatoes that normally cooks well on hob, as you'll be braising them in the oven.

Apples add an extra bit of sweetness and crunchiness to his meal, therefore choose type that will cook well and stay firm at the same time. Braeburn, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious or Jonagold apples are well-suited for this recipe.

The flavours of this casserole come together thanks to the sauce made of mustard and stock. I have used pork stock, but you can use any that you prefer or have on hand.

This meal can be served as it is or with a slice of bread.

Finally, it can also be kept in the freezer in an airtight food container. Do not add the apples in the sauce before freezing, but cook them just before serving. Consume within 2 months.
