The sausage has a smoky, bold flavor that gives the muffins their depth.
So with the apples adding a touch of sweetness, the onions and celery bringing umami, and the sausage adding a spiced Italian meat, these muffins were so well balanced, and… yummy, I couldn’t stop eating them. In fact, I brought a batch to a picnic yesterday and they were all gone in minutes.
I sprinkled on some thyme and chives, and with a pat of butter…. heaven.
