Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 bratwurst
2 apple, cored and sliced
1 sweet onion, sliced
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles beer
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook bratwurst in hot oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove bratwurst to a plate, reserving drippings in the skillet.
Stir apple and onion slices into the reserved drippings; cook and stir until the onion softens, about 6 minutes. Return bratwurst to the skillet, nestling them into the onion mixture. Pour beer over the sausages; season with salt and pepper.
Bring the beer to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the the bratwurst is no longer pink in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Provided by flour_arrangements

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 uncooked bratwursts (about 1 pound total)
1 large onion, sliced
2 Domex SuperFresh Fuji or Jonagold apples, cored and cut in 1/2-inch slices
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh apple cider

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bratwurst and brown well on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer bratwurst to a plate and set aside. Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until it begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add apple slices, thyme, salt and pepper; stir to mix. Return bratwurst to the skillet, nestling the sausages down into the apple/onion mixture. Pour cider over sausages, loosely cover the skillet with its lid or a piece of foil (so steam can escape) and reduce heat to medium-low. Braise until sausages are cooked through and apples are nearly tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer sausages to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Reduce the cooking liquids over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. To serve, arrange bratwurst on individual plates, spoon the apple mixture alongside and drizzle with the cooking liquids. Makes 4 servings.
