How to Make This Sausage Apple Cornbread Skillet

Preheat your oven to 375°F, then heat a 9” ovenproof skillet over medium high heat and add the oil or ghee.

Add the sausage and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Lower the heat to medium and add the onions, then cook another 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then remove from heat and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup and ghee or butter. Add in the almond flour, baking powder and salt and mix well to form a batter.

Drain excess fat from the sausage skillet, then add the apples and cinnamon and stir to coat. Spread the cornbread batter over the top of the sausage apple mixture evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the cornbread layer is set and turning golden brown on top.

Allow the skillet to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. For extra sweetness, drizzle on a little pure maple syrup.
