 1 pound chorizo sausage, squeezed from casings
  Olive oil (if needed)
 2 large celery stalks with leaves, thinly sliced
 1 large onion, chopped
 5 large garlic cloves, minced
 2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Cook chorizo in a 12-in. frying pan over medium-high heat until browned, stirring often and breaking meat into small chunks, about 8 minutes. Measure fat from pan; you should have 1/4 cup (if needed, add oil). Add celery, onion, garlic, oregano, and cayenne, if using; sauté until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add apples and stir to coat.
