Ingredients

• 1 lb pork sausage
• 2 apples
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into bite-size pieces, until browned and the thickest pieces reach 160°F, about 8 to 10 minutes. (about 10 min) — Medium heat; sausage to 160°F
2. Transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet. Add the apples and onion, season with the salt and pepper, and sauté until the onion is softened and the apples are lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. (about 8 min) — Medium heat
3. Stir the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and thyme into the hot skillet. Return the sausage and cook, stirring, until everything is coated and the glaze is bubbling, about 2 minutes. (about 2 min) — Medium heat
4. Serve the sausage, apples, and onion hot with the maple Dijon glaze.
