Peaches and Cream Cornbread with Maple Sausage
Martha White has graciously given me permission to share with you some of my favorite recipes from the competition. So I’ll be doing that the rest of the week and then sending out an exclusive recipe in my email newsletter on Friday. If you don’t subscribe by email and would like to, just click here.
When I tasted today’s recipe, it was so good my eyes rolled back in my head.
This sounded like an odd combination to me at first, but this amazing cornbread dish ended up being another one of my dear favorites in the cornbread cook off. Think of it as a country danish, with a heavenly combination of peaches, cream cheese, and maple sausage. I had to stop myself from asking for seconds!
The flavors blended perfectly and it’s one of those dishes that will impress and surprise your guests, I’ve never had anything like it but I’ll sure be having it from now on! If you have a brunch coming up, here is your showstopper dish.

we had a peach tree at my dads house. When the peaches were ripe Id slice them up and eat them with sweet cornbread covered in honey. It was so delicious
This reminds me so much of that favorite snack!
Oh my goodness that sounds delicious!!
YUM! I will have to try that when the peaches are ripe!
That sounds wonderful. Any suggestions on maple flavoring with regular sausage? We have venison sausage and don’t usually buy pork sausage.
Christy – who ended up winning the competition. I have not been able to find the info online…There were lots of delish cornbreads on “Cornbread Alley”.
Here’s the site with recipes: http://www.marthawhite.com/promotions_news/2012/cornbread_cookoff.aspx
I don’t know that this sounds wonderful – it sounds weird…but….I think I am going to try it! Will let you know what I think.
Oh I think this sounds wonderful!! I’m a big fan of savory and sweet together and it also seems super easy to make. Thanks Christy, I’ll be trying this soon.
ooooooo,, going to try this one next week! I always have maple flavored sausage in the freezer (I have always loved green beans slow cooled with maple sausage and onions!). I am going to try this in my dutch oven and cook this outdoors. If it works out, this will be a great recipe to take on our camp out’s for our place down in Tennessee! I am going to make it to that National Cornbread Festival one of these years!
Cassie, those green beans sound delish! What is your recipe?
Oh,, didn’t know people were asking for my ‘recipe’, lol. I just toss in a bag or two of frozen cut green beans, crumble up (tear of peices that it) of a roll of lean maple sausage (I use Bob Evans or Jimmy Deans cause they are very lean) sometimes if I use the big crock pot I will add 2 pkgs of maple sausage; then just cut up a large onion or 2 small/medium onions add some pepper, I hardly ever add salt as there is plenty in the sausage. Sometimes I add some garlic. Let it cook in the crock pot all night long and it is ready for hubby’s lunch. I love dipping a slice of buttered bread in the ‘broth’ that it makes. If you use fresh green beans, you will need to add some broth or water, if it looks a little dry, then add some liquid. Easy Peazy! And thank you for asking, I feel very ‘honored’!
Cassie, I agree with Tonya, would love that green bean recipe with maple sausage.
Thanks for posting this. A good cook just can’t have too many cornbread recipes!
Just want to let you know that I tried your peanut butter pie today. Carried it to a luncheon and everyone thought it was wonderful. Also used crunchy peanut butter and it worked great. Thanks for another great recipe!
Christy, this is one heck of a unique recipe! The creator must be very clever. Don’t think I’ll try it (not a sausage fan), but it certainly looks interesting
Happy Mother’s Day, Christy, and all of you Southern Plate Moms!
Would this work with a softened block of regular cream cheese? I can’t wait to try and that’s what I have on hand! Looks so great…
This is really very good! It sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but turns out to be surprisingly delicious. It will be a good dish to take to a Brunch or to serve to guests for breakfast. Thanks, Christy!
I just put mine in the oven. The kids keep peeking through the oven glass, excited to try this new dish. Occassionally we like to spice up our lunches considering we homeschool and lunch time can get rather boring. Thanks for sharing!
LOL! Never tell anyone you’re a homeschooler when your spelling is off!! ~~~~Occasionally~~~~~~
(Deep Sigh) I know Jimmy Dean (bless his soul) has a Maple Sausage but it’s about as southern as a carpetbagger! Maple syrup is purely Northern. Southerns have Cane Syrup. Right? But, this recipe sounds “pea pickin good”. LOL
This sounds really good to me! What other fruit besides peaches do you think would be good in this dish? My mom has a peach allergy but I’d love to make a version of this for us to try.
I’m not a sausage eater, either, but I’m trying this just on general principle! Green beans and maple sausage?! I’m making it just to say I did!
And I grew up on blueberry corn bread, baked in a cast iron skillet. Peaches and cream cheese? I’m all for giving that a try!
Ohhh, I bet the blueberry is fabulous too!!
