Bunnies in Blankets

Yield 2

Author Maud Ruby Basham, "Aunt Daisy"

These adorable bunnies--all the way from New Zealand--are tasty, filling and perfect for any brunch or lunch that includes children. I have written the amounts for 2 servings but the amounts are easy to adjust.

Ingredients

• 2 medium apples
• 1 scant teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon soft butter
• 2 ounces bulk sausage meat [I used homemade beef sausage; see notes]
• 4 slices loaf bread
• 4 small slices cheese

Instructions

1. Core, but do not peel apples. Cut in slices 1/3-inch thick. Sprinkle with sugar and dot with butter; then, bake until soft (about 20-25 minutes).
2. Roll sausage meat into little sausages about an inch long and fry.
3. Cut crusts from bread to leave 2-inch squares; then, lightly toast bread squares.
4. On squares of toast, put a round of apple, then 2 little sausages. Put a square of cheese over each little sausage, and put under griller to soften a little.

Notes

You can find my recipe for Beef Sausage in my blog post "Celebrations in Wartime" or see how I make it in my YouTube video "Mock Turkey Recipe for Thanksgiving from the 1940's."
