Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound ground pork with 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: Form the pork mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon ghee or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove patties and keep warm.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon ghee or olive oil and the 1 medium apple sliced. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon cinnamon over the apple slices and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the apples are tender and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: Serve the sage-spiced sausage patties hot alongside the cinnamon apples.
