With autumn virtually here it is a great season for apples and this chicken apple burger is a good treat! Best served with a salad or (if you are me) chunky chips!!

You will need:

• 2 Granny Smith apples (cored)
• 1/2tsp poultry seasoning
• 1/2tsp salt
• 1/4tsp ground black pepper
• 1lb ground chicken
• 1/2 stalk finely chopped celery (optional)
• 4oz cranberry sauce
  
• Burger buns or ciabatta buns

and this is what you do:

1. Finely cut 6 slices from the apples to create 12 apple rings,
2. From the remainder of the apples, coarsely grate approximately 10oz (3/4cup)
3. Spray a rigid grill pan with spray oil and heat to a medium-high heat,
4. In a bowl stir the grated apple with the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper until blended,
5. Mix in the chicken and celery (optional) until just combined,
6. Shape the chicken mixture into burger patty shapes handling it as little as possible. You should get 4 1/2inch thick patties,
7. Place the burgers in the grill pan and grill for 10-12 minutes until the chicken loses its pink colour throughout and turn over once.
8. Serve in the buns with the apple rings and cranberry sauce.
