SAUSAGE in a BLANKET with GLAZED APPLES

Salty-sweet goodness! This recipe combines the best of breakfast foods—the meaty flavor of sausage, the fluffy carb-load of pancakes, and the caramel sweetness of homemade applesauce—all rolled into one delicious dish.


» SERVES 4 «

1 (8-ounce) package Tofurky Breakfast Links (vegan)

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 cup flour

1/4 cup quick-cooking oats

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

11/2 cups nondairy milk

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon oil

1 recipe Vegan Sour Cream (see Chapter 6) (optional)

1. In a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, cook breakfast links until they are heated through and browned. Set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and brown sugar to a boil; continue to cook 1 minute, add apples, and cook until sauce has thickened and apples are tender, about 10 minutes.

3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Gently stir in milk, sugar, and oil just until combined; a few lumps are okay.

4. Cook each 1/3 cup of pancake batter on a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-high heat, flipping when bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake; cook the second side until golden.

5. To assemble, roll a Breakfast Link inside each pancake and top with caramelized apples. If you like, add a dollop of Vegan Sour Cream.
