Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Bread Boats: Cut the French bread into six 4-inch sections. Carefully hollow out an oval shape from the top of each piece, creating a well for the gravy. Discard the removed bread. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Sauté Sausage and Apple: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork sausage and chopped apple. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a spoon, until the sausage is browned and no longer pink, and the apple is softened. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Create the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage and apple mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is fully absorbed and the mixture begins to brown. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually pour in the milk and apple juice, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. (5-7 minutes)

05

Step

Finish the Gravy: Stir in the Dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.

06

Step

Assemble and Serve: Ladle the apple-sausage gravy generously into the prepared French bread boats, allowing some of the gravy to cascade enticingly over the sides. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, try using a blend of sweet and savory sausage.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
If you prefer a smoother gravy, you can use an immersion blender to blend the gravy until it reaches your desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
