Easy Apple Sausage Breakfast Bake

Apple sausage is KEY for making this sweet and savory, healthy breakfast bake! Gluten free chicken apple sausage combined with maple syrup, gluten free pancake mix, eggs, and more. It’s a wholesome breakfast bake that’s a meal in itself. Great for breakfast on the go, holiday brunch, or breakfast for dinner. Easy, protein packed, and DELICIOUS! 

*This Apple Sausage Breakfast Bake recipe is sponsored by my friends over at Al Fresco All Natural. Thank you for allowing me to share their healthy gluten free chicken breakfast sausage products! 

Well, I think I’m officially ready. I’ve put the Summer season behind me (even though it’s 90F today) and shifted my mind in into baking mode. I’d like to thank Al Fresco All Natural for the apple maple breakfast inspiration. Yes, time to bust more yummy warm breakfast bake dishes!

It’s like “no wearing white after labor” rule but with food.  Cool creamy frozen tropical treats out (except my banana soft serve, that’s the exception. Mmmm k?).  All the red, orange, and warm colored foods in. Not to mention ALL THE BAKING. Did I say that already? Haha yes, baked Apples, Pears, and Pumpkins galore. BRING IT ON!

Okay I lied. I might a few more cool salad type dishes to share, but they involve Fall fruit. So…. I’m good, right?

But let’s back up the baking train for a moment. You see, part of the reason we all love Summer is for simplicity. Fresh meals made in one bowl or pan. Yep, done. Let’s eat,  fork or hands allowed.

Why not keep this concept going through Fall and Winter. One dish. One meal. Healthy. Nourishing. Ahhh yes, the breakfast bake. Protein, veggie/fruit, carbs, and more goodness BAKED to perfection.

Hence this Apple Sausage Breakfast Bake. A breakfast bake that looks like bread or dessert, but actually can substitute for a FULL meal. And with minimal ingredients I might add.

Think of it as Dutch apple pancakes and a side of maple chicken sausage COMBINED! Butter and syrup included.

Except this Breakfast Bake can be made ahead of time. It can be frozen for later. Use it for brunch, breakfast, or dinner. Yes, a breakfast bake that takes the cake. —> I know, corniness factor slipped in. Go with it.

How long does this apple sausage breakfast bake take to make?

Really, we all look at the time commitment first, don’t we?

Well, I know I do. I love to cook, but when it comes to baking, I want make it in an hour or less.

This Apple Sausage Breakfast bake will fit that criteria. Duh! I made my rules, I must follow.

All you need to do is combine your favorite gluten free buttermilk pancake mix (or other flavor of choice), diced apples, and then pre cooked maple chicken sausage.

The sausage is of course KEY here. Today I’m using Al Fresco Natural Breakfast Chicken Apple Sausage.

What is chicken apple sausage made of?

The kiwi and I LOVE chicken apple sausage. For one,they are sweet and savory, the best of both worlds.

These Chicken Apple sausages (in particular) are just made for breakfast. Hence the whole breakfast casserole idea. But what I also love about Al Fresco’s apple sausage is the real food ingredients. Ahhh, makes me feel so good just reading the simple ingredient list.
