1. I prefer the taste of Jimmy Dean roll sausage to Jones, but it doesn't release enough fat to sautee the veggies. So if you double the recipe, you can use a roll of each.
2. If using a stainless pan to cook, use less heat than you would in a non-stick pan, or else foods will burn.
3. Don't pre-heat the oven until you've finished cooking the apples. Otherwise, you're just wasting energy.
4. If doubling recipe, bake until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
