- Apples — Choose firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balance of tartness and sweetness.
- Olive Oil — Use a good quality olive oil for sautéing the apples to enhance their flavor.
- Salt and Pepper — Season the dish to taste, keeping in mind that blood sausage can be slightly salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.
