Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork with 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage leaves, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sausage patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until well browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp coconut oil and diced 1 medium peeled apple. Sprinkle 1 tsp ground cinnamon evenly over the apples, then stir in 1 tsp fresh lemon juice.
  5. Step 5: Sauté the apples over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until tender and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Step 6: Serve the sausage patties topped with the warm cinnamon-spiced apples for a hearty, Whole30-compliant breakfast.
