Step 1

Place a skillet on a stove over medium-high heat, then heat the vegetable oil, and add the sausage. Break it apart and cook it for about 5 minutes until nicely browned, then reduce the heat to medium, and in the same skillet, add the onions and salt. Give them a good mix to combine, then keep cooking for about 5 more minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent, and add the butter.

Step 2

Give them a good stir until melted, then add the flour, and keep stirring and cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Add the diced apples, then stir them well to combine, and keep cooking it for another minute or so. Pour in the chicken broth, then turn the heat to high, and continue stirring the apples making sure to scrape the browned bits at the bottom.

Step 3

Pour in the milk, then bring it to a simmer, turn the heat to medium-low, and keep it in a simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, add the egg, apple cider vinegar, creme fraiche, thyme, green onions, salt, and baking powder, then whisk everything until incorporated, add the flour, and continue whisking until fully combined.

Step 4

Stir the gravy mixture and adjust the seasoning to taste if needed, then turn the heat to medium, and drop rounded teaspoons of the dumpling batter onto the gravy. Cover the skillet with the lid, then allow it to cook undisturbed for around 5 to 6 minutes or until puffed up and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Garnish it with more green onions, then serve immediately, and enjoy!
