Hi!!Yooper, I made this on 10/10/07 for my SO and myself after seeing Bergy's wonderful photos.For the sausage I used a chedder cheese smoked sausage,and for the apple I used two small golden delicious since that's all I had on hand.And I also used just 1 teaspoon of dried sage.But boy,let me tell you the taste was very good.The apples gave a wonderful sweetness to the onions.Thank you for posting and,"Keep Smiling:)"
