Sautéed Sausages with Apples
These sautéed sausages with apples are an easy, no-fuss, one-pan meal that calls for just two ingredients and is on the table in just half an hour, making it ideal for those busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage links or bulk sausage, preferably Italian
- 2 medium (about 1 lb) red cooking apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the sausage until cooked through, with no trace of pink remaining, 5 to 10 minutes for bulk sausage or 15 to 25 minutes for sausage links.
- Meanwhile, core and slice the apples into wedges 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick.
- Add the apples to the skillet containing the cooked sausage (or remove the sausage if there’s no room) and sauté until the apples are browned and tender but not mushy, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the sausage and apples to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
Notes
Add Extra Vegetables
You can bulk up this simple meal (and clean out your crisper) with the addition of extra vegetables. Sauté onions or cooked potato cubes with the sausages and apples, or add mushrooms, broccoli rabe, or Brussels sprouts to the skillet when you add the apples.Nutrition
