Apple Cheese Sausage Balls

Ingredients

• 2 lbs bulk italian turkey sausage or Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage
• 8 oz grated sharp cheddar cheese

• 1 package bread crumbs (or make your own w/ 4 slices toasted bread)
• 4 small apples cored and cut into bite size pieces (unpeeled)

Directions

Preheat oven to 300.

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Using an ice cream scoop as a measure, form into 2 inch balls.

Place on a greased baking sheet and bake until done (about 30-45 minutes)

*I sometimes make ahead and freeze until ready to entertain.
