SAUSAGE WITH SWEET POTATO AND APPLE

1/2 pound sausage
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced
3 medium-sized apples, peeled, sliced
1 tablespoon sausage drippings

Cut link sausage into 1/2-inch pieces. Fry until well done. If bulk sausage is used, shape it into small balls before frying or break it up as it cooks.

Mix sugar, flour, and salt together and blend with cold water.

Arrange layers of potatoes, apples, and sausage in a baking dish, pouring flour-sugar mixture over each layer. Top with apples and sausage, and add drippings.

Cover; bake at 375 degrees F (moderate oven) until apples and potatoes are tender - about 45 minutes.

VARIATION:

Replace the sausage with thin slices of smoked pork shoulder, or thin shoulder pork chops, well browned.
