Apple Kraut and Smoked Sauasage

Apple Kraut and Smoked Sausage

Super easy to make. Less than 30 minutes from prep to the table! This could make a good crock pot recipe if you just want to throw it in while your at the kids concert or soccer game. I don't know that I would do it all day!

What you will need:

2 medium apples, peeled and cored

1 medium onion

1 package of smoked sausage

1/2 bag sauerkraut (or one jar), drained

1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice

1 tsp caraway seeds

1 tsp fennel

lemon juice

In a medium bowl shred the apples and sprinkle with lemon juice. Set aside. 

In a large skillet saute the onion until starting to brown and crisp. Add the sauerkraut, apples, and apple juice. Add the fennel and caraway seeds. Bring to a boil and simmer about 15 minutes. Add the sausage and cook another 10 minutes. 

Recipe notes:

I grill my sausage while the kraut mix is boiling. I like the flavor better. But it can go in straight out of the package.

Crock pot version: I would probably cook on high for 2 hours and low for about 4.
