Ingredients
Scale
- 4 maple-flavored chicken sausages
- 3 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced into wedges
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted for extra flavor)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine apple wedges with olive oil and ground cinnamon; toss to coat.
- Add the chicken sausages and chopped pecans to the bowl. Drizzle in the maple syrup and mix gently until everything is well-coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until sausages are cooked through and apples are tender.
- For a crispy finish, switch to broil during the last few minutes of cooking, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Serve hot, drizzling any residual maple syrup from the pan over the dish.
