Description
A recipe for Maple Sausage Apple Braid

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) Jimmy Dean Fresh Breakfast Sausage, Maple flavor
  
• 1/4 cup Hungry Jack microwave ready regular syrup
  
• 2 eggs, beaten
  
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  
• 1 1/2 cups dry herb stuffing mix
  
• 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
  
• 1 (17 1/4-ounce) package package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  
• 2 egg whites, beaten
  
• 1 tablespoon water
  
• 4 tablespoons sesame seeds

Preparation
1. Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, combine sausage, syrup, eggs, green onions, apples and stuffing mix. Set aside.

2. Roll out each pastry to an 18 x 12-inch rectangle. Place pastries on large, ungreased cookie sheets. Spoon half sausage mixture down center of each pastry.

3. Make 3-inch cuts at 1-inch intervals on sides of pastries. Fold one strip at a time, alternating sides, until the filling is enclosed. Fold both ends under to seal. Beat egg whites and water together; brush mixture over braids. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

4. Bake at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until brown, rotating pans halfway through baking.
