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 (here’s how to easily make homemade 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.

Check out yesterday’s recipe, Cornbread Stuffed Pepper Rings, another delicious favorite of mine from the Cornbread Festival!

but thriving with passion and compassion
and humor and style and generosity and kindness.”
Thanks for posting this. A good cook just can’t have too many cornbread recipes!
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.
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.
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.
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”.

That sounds wonderful. Any suggestions on maple flavoring with regular sausage? We have venison sausage and don’t usually buy pork sausage.
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!
