🍎🍠 Slow Cooker Apple Gouda Sausage & Sweet Potatoes

There’s something about fall that makes me want to bring out the slow cooker and fill the kitchen with the cozy scents of apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and warm spices.

This simple slow-cooker dinner combines Apple & Gouda chicken sausage with sweet potatoes, apples, and a touch of maple syrup for an easy sweet-and-savory meal. Everything cooks together gently while the slow cooker does the work — perfect for a busy autumn afternoon.

Serves: 4–6

Ingredients

• 1 package Amylu Apple & Gouda Chicken Sausages, about 12 ounces
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾–1-inch cubes
• 1 large sweet onion, cut into chunks
• 2 apples, cored and cubed — Cosmic Crisp, Honeycrisp, or Gala work nicely
• ½ cup Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth
• 2 tablespoons Great Value Pure Maple Syrup
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon Rosemary Thyme House Blend

Rosemary Thyme House Blend

• 1 teaspoon powdered rosemary
• 1 teaspoon powdered thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• No added salt

Mix together well and store the remaining blend in an airtight container.

Directions

1. Place the sweet potatoes and onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Add the cubed apples. If you prefer your apples to hold their shape a little more, you can add them during the last 1½–2 hours of cooking instead.
3. Arrange the Apple & Gouda chicken sausages over the vegetables and apples.
4. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the slow cooker.
5. Drizzle the maple syrup over the sausages and vegetables.
6. Sprinkle everything with the cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and Rosemary Thyme House Blend.
7. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sausage is thoroughly heated according to package directions.
8. Gently stir before serving, spooning a little of the warm apple-maple mixture over each sausage.

Notes

🍎 Choose a firm apple. Cosmic Crisp or Honeycrisp holds up especially well in the slow cooker.

🍠 Keep the sweet potato pieces fairly uniform so they cook at the same rate.

🌿 For an onion-free version, leave out the sweet onion and add chopped chives or sliced green onion tops near the end.

🍁 If you like a little extra maple flavor, drizzle a teaspoon or two over the finished dish just before serving.

A little Rosemary Thyme note

This is one of those simple meals that makes the house smell like fall. The apples become tender, the sweet potatoes soak up the maple and spices, and the Apple & Gouda sausage gives the whole dish a wonderful savory balance.

Easy, cozy, and just right for a cool autumn evening. 🍂🏡
