Sausage Apple Bake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups New Hope Mills Apple Cinnamon Pancake Mix
• 16 oz ground breakfast sausage
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp sage
• 2 apples peeled, cored, and diced

Directions:

Brown the sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat. Drain grease and set sausage aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8 square baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, brown sugar, and sage. Stir in ¾ of the cooked sausage and ¾ of the diced apples, reserving ¼ of each to sprinkle on top. Mix in the remaining ingredients to form a batter.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish and sprinkle the reserved browned sausage and diced apples on top. Bake 50-55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Serve with maple syrup.
