Sausage and Sauerkraut

Great summertime picnic dish, or winter time all-day casserole. The meat flavors the kraut, and the applesauce sweetens it. Great blend of flavors!! (I take a lot of liberty with the proportions of kraut, applesauce, etc. I just dump and mix, but this is as accurate as I can get. Just don't use too much onion.)
