BACON-WRAPPED SAUSAGE CASSEROLE WITH APPLE & TOMATO SAUCE

Bacon-Wrapped Sausage Casserole With Apple & Tomato Sauce image

From a popular collection of Recipes originally published in an Afrikaans magazine, Huisgenoot. The recipe calls for a coarse South African sausage, Boerewors, which is generally made up of 2/3 beef, 1/3 pork, plus spices, etc., but I use normal pork sausages for this. A lovely casserole, I serve it with Dauphinoise potatoes.
