Apple-Sausage Coffeecake

[Tara]

       
Ingredients:
4 sausage patties
2 tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups pancake batter
1 tablespoon butter



Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a large skillet, saute sausage until browned. Pour off any
fat from skillet, add apple slices, sprinkle with sugar and
cinnamon. Saute 1-2 minutes until apples just lose their
crispness. Set aside.

Place the butter in a well-seasoned 9-inch iron skillet and heat
in preheated oven until bubbly and hot. Arrange the sausage in
the pan, cover with apples, distributing evenly.

Pour the batter over the apples and bake until nicely browned,
about 8-10 minutes. Cut into pie-shaped wedges and serve
immediately.
