Apple Sausage Casserole Recipe

A sausage casserole recipe is the ultimate Autumn dinner, especially with our pork and apple sausages. As well as being hearty and great comfort food, this apple sausage casserole recipe manages to sneak in two of your five a day. Our new Outdoor Bred British sausages, Apple Porkers, are filled with a drop of honey and British bramley apples, that give this sausage recipe a delicious sweetness. A sausage casserole is a great warming Autumn dinner if you’re looking for sausage recipe ideas. This apple sausage casserole is made even tastier thanks to the addition of a lovely cider that works perfectly with the sausages – what better combo is there than sausage and cider after all?! Serve it up with fresh sourdough or make a buttery mash for an even more hearty Autumn dinner. ‘feelingtastty’ over on Instagram came up with this recipe, using our apple sausages, and Tom and Rosie made it for our team lunch. It’s so good we had to share.
