Description

This German dish is typically made with pork brats, but could also be made from beef brats. The brats are first browned on the stovetop and then baked in caramelized sauerkraut.

Ingredients

• 4 raw bratwursts
• olive oil
• 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
• 1/2 green apple, peeled and chopped
• 2 T. brown sugar
• 1/2 t. caraway seeds
• 1/2 t. mustard seeds
• 3 c. lightly drained sauerkraut
• 1 c. apple cider
• grainy Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Lightly brush brats with olive oil. Brown brats in a hot oven-proof pan for a few minutes per side, until they start to reach a nice color. Transfer the brats to a platter; set aside.
3. Add the onions and apples to the pan; saute over medium heat for several minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and the spices; cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
