Treat your ingredients with care...

• Boudin Blanc sausages — Ensure that the sausages are fully cooked before serving. You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, which should read 160°F (71°C) for pork-based sausages.
• Mauritian apples — Choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, to balance the sweetness of the dish.

Tips & Tricks

• If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the dish.
• For a twist, you can substitute the Boudin Blanc sausages with chicken or turkey sausages.
• Serve the Boudin Blanc with a side of fresh salad for a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish.
• If you can't find Mauritian apples, you can use any crisp and slightly tart apple variety available in your region.
• Make sure to cook the sausages on medium heat to achieve a crispy exterior without burning them.
