Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • frying pan

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 to 1-¼ cups apple peeled and grated, or peeled and cooked, and then mashed. (For low oxalate, low salicylate: use only Golden Delicious or Red Delicious apple, or you may also use peeled pear, but not for VAD.)
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint (Omit for LO, LS.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Ceylon, omit for VAD, LO, LS
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder omit for VAD
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • In large bowl, mix together all ingredients well.
  • To fry as patties, form into 4"x 3/4" (or 1/2") patties. Place in cold skillet. Once all patties are formed and in the pan, cook over medium high heat.
  • Once they start sizzling, cook for one minute, then reduce heat to medium, and cook 3 minutes more. Flip each patty, and cook 4 minutes more. Serve. (Because this is beef, it's okay to cook your patties more or less, according to taste.)

Notes

Keto version

For Keto, we use zucchini instead of apple. The sausages turn out flavorful, tender and moist.

  • 1-1/4 cups zucchini, peeled, cooked and mashed
