Bills Apple Sausage Meatloaf

• 1 lb ground sausage
• 1 apple, cored, peeled, and medium chopped
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon pappys seasoning, for meat
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• salt
• 1 (16 1/2 ounce) jar apple butter, divided (I used Smuckers)

1. Mix first seven ingredients and 1/2 of the jar of Apple Butter together in large bowl until well blended. (Be sure to wash your hands well before starting).
2. Put meat into loaf pan and form a loaf (or divide into muffin tins for individual servings that can be frozen for later). Spread remainder of Apple butter over loaf.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 30- 45 minutes until done.
4. To make the gravy simply pour pan drippings into sauce pan. Mix 1 tablespoon flour with 3/4 cup water and pour into drippings slowly over low heat, stirring often until thickened to your liking. You may need to add more water if you want.
5. Serve with mashed potatoes, and a nice crisp green salad.
