Pork and Apple Lettuce Bun Burgers

Method

1. In large bowl, combine ground pork, Lucky Leaf® Premium Clean Label Apple Fruit Filling or Topping, sage, garlic and salt. Shape into 24 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Set aside.
2. Melt butter in large pan set over medium heat; cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and caramelized.
3. Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp of oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook 4 burgers, turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Place slice of cheese on each burger in last 2 minutes of cooking. Repeat with remaining oil, burgers and cheese.
4. Special Sauce: Whisk together Musselman’s® Premium Apple Butter, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. 
5. Place 24 lettuce leaves on work surface. Top each leaf with burger, slice of tomato and caramelized onions (1.25 oz/burger). Drizzle with sauce (1.15 oz/burger). Cap with remaining leaves to make sandwich.
