Ingredients
- 12-14 lady apples (or any small apples; otherwise you can split 6 or 7 medium apples in half)
- Cottechino sausage or fatty, spicy Italian sausage, removed from its casing (enough to fill apples; less than 1/2 of a large link)
- Sea salt
- Freshly cracked pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 12-14 sage leaves (about one per apple)
- 1/2 to 3/4 bottle of white wine.
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Scoop the core and seeds out of each apple, leaving a substantial hole for filling.
- Fit the hollowed apples into the base of an ovenproof skillet.
- Fill apples with enough sausage to overflow and have a small mound of meat atop each.
- Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place knobs of butter in the small spaces between the apples.
- Tuck sage leaves into remaining gaps.
- Pour enough wine into pan to cover apples (the sausage tops can peek out above the liquids surface).
- Place pan in oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until apples can easily be pierced with a knife.
- Add more salt and pepper to taste.
