Pancakes with Home Made Spiced Apple Sausage

Weekends are all about staying in bed, late and lounge mornings and most importantly big breakfasts! I love taking the time to cook a good, hearty breakfast on the weekend. Its therapeutic and makes things extra special as compared to the usual quick weekday breakage before running out the door. There’s nothing more satisfying than a sweet and savory combo best embodied by fluffy pancakes and a homemade spiced pork and apple sausage. This is a recipe I created ages ago for a competition in a home economics class in middle school. I won the prize! Keep things simple by using your favorite pre-mixed pancake batter and you can even prepare the sausages ahead and freeze. That way, you really don’t have much to do except roll out of bed and throw them in a pan!
