If you are looking for a quick meal to prepare for dinner or for a Sunday at home when you don’t want to rush, but want something delicious and comforting, this is the recipe for you. The mixture of sausages, apples, and mustard is a classic combination that never fails.

We recommend using good-quality smoked sausages. These have a delicious flavor that combined with the sweetness of Washington Gala and Fuji apples and a touch of mustard and the herbs that we added during cooking give this dish a delicious and full flavor. We recommend accompanying it with bread.

Fried Sausage & Apples Skillet

Yields 4 servings

Ingredients:
2 pounds of smoked sausage
1 pound Fuji Washington Apples, about 2 large apples or 3 medium
1 pound Gala Washington Apples, about 2 large apples or 3 medium
¼ cup water
1 fresh thyme sprig
½ teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
grainy or dijon mustard and bread, for serving

Instructions:

Wash, core, and cut half the apples in quarters. Thinly slice the other half.
In a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat cook sausages until they begin to brown then add the herb and spices, the apples and continue to cook, stirring apples and turning the sausage frequently.
When the apples and the sausages are browned, after about 3-5 minutes add ¼ cup water and cover the pan.
Simmer and steam for 3-5 minutes, then remove the lid and continue cooking until the sausages are browned and heated through, the larger apples have softened, and the sliced apples have turned to applesauce.
Remove from heat and transfer the sausage to a cutting board. Slice the sausage and either return to the skillet or transfer the apples, sauce, and sliced sausage to a serving platter.
Serve as is or with grainy mustard and a crusty loaf of bread.
