Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the apples. Lower heat to medium and cook 15 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom frequently. Stir in the sugar and mix well. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring and scraping frequently. Add the andouille and tasso. Stir well, then increase heat and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring and scraping frequently. Remove from heat, discard bay leaf and serve immediately.
