Apple sausage mixing?

[nelson11b]

Anyone ever use the apple sausage seasoning and mixed it with another kind? I was thinking Cajun apple sounds good but afraid of commitment. And I just messed up 10 lbs of elk pepperoni so I’m looking for a win.

Jonathon is a fan of the Apple brat.

nelson11b It would depend on what you were wanting with the cajun. Did you want to just add some heat? Cause if that is the case I would recommend adding Ghost Pepper Hi-Temp Cheese, it will work well with the sweetness of the apple, I think at least. Mixing 2 seasonings can have good or bad results. The apple is a pretty sweet bratwurst seasoning though, so it MIGHT be a good one to try mixing with a cajun or something like that. If you do, make sure you calculate correctly. You will want to break it down by lb for both of them and then if you are making 10 lb, both of the seasonings should be enough to do 5 lb each for a total of 10 lb.

Thanks Jon! I am going for a sweet heat but more sweet then heat. Never made apple sausage before. Maybe I will test it on pork before I use it on game meat.

nelson11b The ghost pepper adds a decent amount of heat for sure so maybe do a smaller amount of ghost pepper than normally recommended, or mix it 50/50 with the h-temp cheddar, which works wonderfully with the apple brat!

Thanks Jon!

I make a good apple cinnamon bratwurst that is a base brat recipe with extra pie spice and cinnamon with finely diced Granny Smith apples that is super delicious. I have also done that style with a little bourbon mixed in with it instead of just water. It’s fantastic
