Get Your Apples On! My Five Favorite Healthy Apple Recipes

best_paleo_apple_recipes

Apple season is in full swing and I’ve been happily cooking with them all week! My apple obsession started as a kid. I have fond memories of apple picking with just my family and also with extended family. We’d make a day of going out to an orchard and picking a big bag of apples, drinking apple cider, and buying mums and pumpkins. Now, I do the same thing with my family, often times with my sisters and their kids. It’s such a great time.

But, now I have a giant bag of apples that we have to eat! So, I figured I should share some of the yummy recipes I’ve been making. There’s everything from breakfasts to desserts, so go pick some apples and dig in!

Easy Homemade Chicken Apple Sausage

I always loved apple chicken sausage, but cut down on sausage in general as I became more health conscious and cut out nitrites and nitrates. These sausage patties are great and the whole family loves them, not just for breakfast!

2 heaping Tbs organic apple sweetened dried cranberries
