This looks great! I'm going to make this soon. But you mentioned 6 cups of apples twice. I assume you only want 6 cups and not 12?

Hi! I just stumbled upon this blog. My husband and I eat vegan meals very often. I ate apples and sausage growing up too, I think I'll try this recipe.

It's not something my mother made, but we love Thai curry for dinner. Assorted chopped veggies, 1/2 can lite coconut milk, 1/2 hot pepper (habanero, we love spicy food) and about a Tbsp Thai red curry paste. I make 10 minute brown rice, and voila a 10 minute, delicious, vegan supper.

Ooooh, Erica! Let me know if you do!

I've never had anything like this, but it sounds really good. The idea of apples in savory dishes intrigues me. I think I'll try it.

Kittee, it's an adaptation from my Mom's. Her's was literally apples, cinnamon and sausage.Period. So I shifted the spices, added some wine, used vegan sausages and added a leek. I don't remember my mom ever using leeks when we were kids either. And if she did, we probably wouldn't have liked them. I don't remember ever having London Broil! I'll have to scope it out.

Courtney, I LOVE the idea of Mexican lasagna.

Cody, I do the same thing with my Mom's apple crisp! It's still my favorite recipe. Some things (like soup or stew) we like as leftovers. It's a short list, though.

Little One, maybe you could do something with chicken seitan?

Is the recipe you posted the one from your mom, or the one Vez posted on the PPK? I'm surprised about the leeks--we never had those growing up. I tried my first one in my 20s, then called my mom up on the phone to bitch her out for withholding. Her excuse was that she'd never had them either!

The only thing I can think of I've veganized from my mom is her London broil. She used this marinade I love from McCormick, which is still availabe, so I just buy that and use it with seitan or tofu...

Apples and sausages, huh?! Sounds like it could be good!

I was a vegetarian growing up, so my "veganizing" simply involves finding substitutes for dairy--not that hard. I really like her Mexican lasagna--just layers of tortillas, refried beans, onions and zucchini and salsa and cheese. I replaced the cheese with a nutritional yeast sauce, and voila!

I've never heard of that. Sounds like it could be pretty good, though.

The only thing my mom made quite often that I've tried to veganize is chicken stew with dumplings. I just omitted the chicken all together, which made it pretty simple. The only problem was that I made way, way too much stew, and the boyfriend and I aren't big on leftovers. (I couldn't explain it if I tried...)

I plan to make her apple crisp before VeganMoFo is over. Just a butter substitution with that one.

Hmmm. Apples and sausage? Wow. Sounds interesting....

Hmmm. Apples and sausage? Wow. Sounds interesting. As far as my mom goes, she didn't really cook so I guess I'm missing out on trying to veganize something she made. Chicken in the Crockpot was a regular dish made by my dad. Not sure how I'd veganize that . . .
