Sausage Apple Stuffing Muffins Recipe
Servings: 12 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth warmed, plus more if needed
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten and at room temperature
- 12 ounce package seasoned stuffing mix
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup small-diced apple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan.
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Break it into small pieces as it cooks, then drain away any excess grease.1 pound ground Italian sausage
- Whisk the warm (not hot) chicken broth and eggs together in a small bowl.2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 2 large eggs
- Place the dry stuffing mix and melted butter in a large bowl. Pour in the broth-and-egg mixture and stir until the stuffing is evenly moistened.12 ounce package seasoned stuffing mix, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Add the cooked sausage and diced apple. Stir until well combined. If the mixture looks dry and doesn’t hold together when pressed, add more broth a small splash at a time.1 cup small-diced apple
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin pan. Pack each cup lightly so the muffins hold their shape.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them.
Notes
- Stuffing mixes can absorb broth differently. Add extra broth only when the mixture looks dry and won’t hold together when pressed.
- A cookie scoop makes it easier to divide the mixture among the muffin cups, but a spoon works, too.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze: wrap individual muffins in foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
