-
Stir cheese into hot cooked grits until melted.
-
Meanwhile, heat sausages in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
-
Add apple slices; continue cooking, turning occasionally, until sausage is cooked through and apple is tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Drizzle syrup over sausage and apple and cook 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Serve over hot cooked cheese grits.
*For quick cooking white grits, decrease milk to 2 cups and cooking time to 7 to 9 minutes.
