BakinBaby's Note:

This dish has German roots, but is widely prepared in Switzerland. I'm not sure exactly where I found this recipe,but it's been DH and grandson's favorite deer hunting camp meal for many years. It cooks in one skillet so clean up is minimal.

• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

• 1 cup apple (cored and sliced)
• 1 cup apple juice
• 4 red potatoes (cubed)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, brown smoked sausage in olive oil, add onions and cook for 3 minutes.
2. Arrange all ingredients around sausage in skillet and cook over medium heat 30-40 minutes or until juice has cooked down.

I made this for my DH, and if the yummy sounds are any indication, then it is definitely 5 stars! I don't normally like things with cooked apples, but I really liked the mixture of the sour and the sweet here! I used turkey smoked sausgae. This was delicious! ZWT7 - Shady Ladies

My dh & I loved, loved, this dish. It was awesome, so many textures and so much flavor. We really enjoyed the tart, tangy, sweet, vegetables and sausage. Made exactly as written, just cut in half for the two of us. I used wine sauerkraut and knackwurst sausage along with fresh ground sea salt and black pepper. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that I will make often BakinBaby.
