Apple-Sausage Loaf

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. ~John Gunther

 Cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs and apple-sausage loaf. SO glad it is Sunday. This is an old family recipe that always turns an ordinary Sunday into a holiday. There is, however, a complication with this recipe as it calls for "cracker meal"...an item that I have learned (after looking all over for it) has been discontinued. So, I have tried various cracker crumb combinations...this time I used a mixture of cornflake crumbs, panko and crushed Town House crackers. I have tried other combos and they taste about the same. Be sure to thoroughly bake to a brown (and yummy crunchy) crust. I used to form into a ring but the loaf is easier. The recipe is included after the jump below. Please enjoy!

Apple-Sausage Loaf

2 lbs. mild pork bulk sausage

1 1/2 cups cracker meal (crumbs)

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup onion chopped fine

1 cup chopped apple (I use apple sauce)

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Turn into a baking pan and form into a loaf. Bake for 1 hour in a preheated 350 degree oven.
