Apple-sausage hash is a comforting, flavorful dish that combines the savory goodness of sausage with the natural sweetness of apples, creating a perfect balance of flavors. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, this hash is a satisfying meal that’s easy to make and full of delicious textures. The caramelized apples bring a slight sweetness, while the sausage adds richness and depth, making each bite a delightful combination of savory, sweet, and slightly smoky.
To make apple-sausage hash, you begin by browning your choice of sausage, whether it’s mild or spicy, in a large skillet. The sausage is broken into crumbles as it cooks, releasing its savory flavor into the pan. Once the sausage is cooked through, it’s removed from the pan, and diced onions and garlic are sautéed in the leftover sausage fat, building a savory base for the hash.
Next, cubed potatoes — usually Yukon Gold or russet potatoes — are added to the skillet. These potatoes are pan-fried until golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender on the inside. The key to achieving the perfect crispy potato is letting them cook without stirring too much, allowing each piece to get a nice golden crust.
The star ingredient, apples, are sliced and added to the skillet towards the end of cooking. The apples caramelize slightly in the heat, enhancing their sweetness and providing a pleasant contrast to the savory flavors of the sausage and potatoes. A dash of cinnamon or a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary can be added to give the dish a warm, aromatic note.
Once everything is combined and heated through, the apple-sausage hash is ready to serve. It’s delicious on its own but can also be topped with a fried egg for extra richness. You can also serve it with a side of toast or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Apple-sausage hash is a versatile dish that can be made in advance and reheated, making it perfect for meal prep or busy mornings. The combination of savory sausage, crispy potatoes, and sweet apples makes it an irresistible, hearty dish that’s sure to become a breakfast favorite.

I don’t know about mixing apples with sausage. Seems weird. But I tried it and wow, it’s tasty!
This recipe was surprisingly good! The apples add a nice sweet touch. Will make again!
I didn’t have thyme so I used rosemary and it still turned out great. Just make sure to cook the potatoes longer.
Taste good, but my kids didn’t like it. They said it was weird mix of flavors.
I think I might have used too much salt… 🤔
So good! the kids ate it ALL! yay!
Apple and sausage? Gross. Can’t believe people eat this.
Tasty! But I added a little bit of garlic and it was bomb!
Easy to make! I added some cheese on top. Yum!
I dunno… apples and sausage? Seems weird to me. Not sure if I like it.
Cheese on top sounds amazing! I’ll have to try that next time.
Didn’t have thyme so I used basil and it was ok.
I dunno, sounds weird to put apples with sausage. Like, who does that?
This hash is amazing! I never thought apples and sausage would work so well together. I added a dash of cinnamon and it was a hit with my family! 😍
Wow, adding cinnamon sounds like a great idea! I’ll have to try that next time. 😋
Not sure about apples with sausage. Seems weird to me. 🍏🍖
This is so good! I’m making it again tonight!
Yum, I love this dish! The combination of flavors is just perfect!
Easy recipe, but potatoes took too long to cook for me. Might try microwaving next time.
Wasn’t a fan, the apples got too mushy for my taste. I think I prefer my sausage with just potatoes.
Delicious! The thyme gave it a nice flavor. My family loved it!
I ain’t ever tried apple and sausage together before. Idk about this one. But I guess it’s worth a shot??
You should totally try it! The sweetness of the apples really balance out the savory sausage. Trust me, it’s a game changer!
Followed the steps exactly and it turned out great. Thanks!
Glad to hear it turned out great! I always love when a recipe comes together perfectly. Did you add anything extra?
Really? This was a mess for me. I think I burnt the sausage or something. Maybe I didn’t do it right.
Easy to make and super filling! I made it for brunch and nobody could stop eating. Will definitely make again. Thanks!
Yum!! 🍏🍽️ I used sweet potatoes instead and it was still delicious! Maybe a little too sweet, but very good overall.
This recipe is amazing! The sweetness of the apples with the sausage is a game changer. A family favorite now.
I tried this but I think cooking the apples too long just makes them mushy. Maybe just add them last?
It’s alright I guess. Not my kind of dish but whatever. I made it anyway.
