Oktoberfest Apple and Sausage Dish

Apple and Sausage Dish

Cook’s Notes: There are lots of possibilities with this dish. You can use a variety of meats for one dish or use one product. In the past I have used Hillshire, Klements, and Johnsonville products as they have no fillers added. For this recipe, I used chicken apple sausages for a healthy alternative and they are a GF product. This recipe serves 4 but can b easily increased by adding more cider, another apple or two, and a whole red onion sliced. A perfect side to this dish is red cabbage. I used sweet and sour jarred red cabbage found in the canned vegetable aisle. 

Ingredients:

• 1-2 lbs. of link sausages that are fully cooked such as Polish Kielbasa, Andouille or Smoked Sausages
• 3 apples peeled and cut into large chunks
• 1/2 large red onion diced
• 4 cups apple cider
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

• Slice sausages into 1-1/2 inch pieces.
• In a large soup pot add sausage slices, cider, onions, apples, and spices.
• Cook covered on low heat for 35 minutes or until apples are soft.
