Apples Anna
For A Summertime Pancake Brunch
Ingredients:
8 to 10 medium sized apples
1/2 cup butter
6 tablespoons sugar
Ground cinnamon
Cinnamon sticks
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples; you should have 8 to 10 cups. Melt the butter. In a 9 inch skillet, swirl around 2 tablespoons of the butter to coat the pan bottom. Neatly layer the apple slices in the pan, drizzling layers occasionally with a little of the butter and a little sugar; reserve about 2/3 of the butter and sugar.
Sprinkle the reserved sugar evenly over the top of the apples and drizzle evenly with the reserved melted butter. Set pan over medium heat and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes without stirring; apples should not brown. If edges start to darken, remove from heat.
Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes in a 400 degree oven. If apples begin to look quite dry on top, baste with a little of the juices bubbling around the pan sides, or with a little more melted butter. Decorate with a dusting of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick. Makes 6 generous servings.
Potato Pancakes
For A Summertime Pancake Brunch
Measure 1 cups buttermilk pancake mix into a bowl. Add the dry measure of instant mashed potatoes as designated on the package to make 4 servings; stir together. Beat 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons salad oil and mix with 1 cups milk.
Stir into pancake mix until batter is thoroughly moistened and well blended. Bake by spoonfuls on a medium hot lightly greased griddle. Add a little more milk if batter gets thick. Serve with melted butter and a favorite jam or jelly.
Makes 12 thick pancakes, each about 4 inches in diameter.
Oven Cooked Pork Sausage Links

Allow 4 to 6 link sausages for each serving. Place sausages side by side in a shallow baking pan and pour in enough water to make a layer about inches deep.
Bake sausages, uncovered in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes, then drain off the drippings and discard; return sausages to the oven to bake another 20 minutes. Do not turn the links.
Drain briefly on paper towels and keep warm until ready to serve.
