Apple Sausage Quiche
"This cheese and sausage quiche is slightly sweet from the chopped apple. Prebaking the pastry, without the filling, ensures a crisp crust. I found this recipe in a Southern Living cookbook. We enjoyed it!"

I made this for breakfast this morning! What a wonderful fall treat! I followed the recipe exactly except I used Pink Lady apples (picked fresh last weekend). I did cook the onions for a few minutes before adding the apples, which has led to a perfect soft onion and crisp sweet apple in my breakfast. Thanks so much for a keeper! -
This is an absolutely delicious quiche. I made it with my Recipe #105545, which I had stored in the freezer. The only change I made was to cook the onion a bit before adding the apples, etc. The apple-sausage combo is a winner. I just used standard-issue Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage. -
Definitely five stars! I used spicy turkey sausage because DH can't have pork, and recipe #256143 for the pastry to make it gluten free. Thank you for posting this keeper!<br/>Made for Harvest Moon Apple Festival of the Diabetes Forum. -
We love this recipe and prefer the spicy sausage ,because the apples make it sweet. The combo in flavor is perfect -sweet and spicy. My husband never had Quiche, and he absolutely loves this dish. This is a must, and thank you so much for listing this wondferful recipe. -
This is a simple, quick recipe and something different for a change. The flavor is just delicious! I didn't measure the onion and I think I had more like 1/2 c. I also used turkey sausage and substituted 1 T. raw honey for the 2 T. sugar. Will definitely make this one again. Thanks!
