Ingredients

• 6 pieces bratwurst sausages
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion
• 16 ounces sauerkraut
• 1 medium apple
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt.

Step 2

Add the bratwurst to the skillet and brown on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes. Once browned, remove the bratwurst and set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the onion. Core and dice the apple into small pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and melt. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the diced apple, brown sugar, and caraway seeds. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the apple begins to soften.

Step 6

Add the sauerkraut to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth and stir well.

Step 7

Return the bratwurst to the skillet, nestling them into the sauerkraut mixture. Sprinkle the dish with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bratwurst are cooked through and the flavors have melded together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with mustard or fresh bread on the side if desired.
